APOLOGIES
Blogging has been suckier than usual today due to the fact that I’ve had to do a couple of press availabilities {dontcha just love that term?} at the club, as well as the fact that our management team is in the process of conducting hiring interviews today and tomorrow — and then again next week.
We got something like 300+ applications and our GM, Security Director, and our bar consultant — {the brilliant Ken Batali of Batali Associates — yes, THAT Batali} were doing the preliminary interviews this week and then call-backs will be conducted next week, again by the three of them, but also with the two owners present.
Its a pretty rigorous process that involves criminal background checks and a couple of fairly detailed interviews.
Anyway, that’s my excuse. What’s yours?

Followed by a jockstrap competition and sexual history questionnaire?

I stripped the garage roof down to the studs and I’m about half a day from finishing the shingling. When I’m done that’s the last time I go up on a fucking roof. At 50 I’m just too old for this shit.

Ugh, rafters not studs. The next project is stripping the interior of the garage to the studs to do mold remediation from the failed roof. Lesson learned: Buy a new house, buy an old house, but never buy a 23 year old house since all the sheathing, roofing and mechanicals are at the end of their lifespan.

Are ya sure it was a rafter and not a purlin, Steven?

Heh, no purlins. It’s a shed roof and the chords are tied together by the decking. Then the whole mess has a tacked on fascia and soffit. It’s all very WTF!?

No apologies needed. Focus on your business! We’ll wait. Update us on how it’s going when you can. Wish I could make the opening but it’s a long drive from Mass.

Just how many rounds of “interviews” is it going to take to for you to decide on the go-go boys? And more importantly, please tell us you plan to post pictures and/or video from said “interviews.”

You’re kinda like herpes – we might get a break now and then – but eventually you pop up again
