Oh, that's cutting edge cleverness right there...
I take it I'm not the only one with an eye-spiltting hangover this morning, eh? The good news is I don't have to go in to work until 5PM. The bad news is I'm too nauseous to go back to bed, because it's like being on the open ocean in the midst of a tsunami. Man, I pity the poor slobs that come to me seeking "customer service" this evening. A Wednesday night with the Food Network, peanut butter crackers and cheap vodka. Just say no, kids.

The bad news for me is that I'm lazy today and I have a 30 foot motor home sitting outside that won't fix itself...
put on yer suspenders and hop to it Jethro
Now, now, I didn't say "dick".
Wait, maybe I should have - that's not politically correct.
Oh dear.
I don't see how it is humanely possible to completely renovate not only a restaurant, but it's staff as well in a mere 48 hours with a budget of $10,000. You also have to question how many of these places stay with Irvine's makeovers, let alone remain in business. For example, SPIKE tv's Bar Rescue has a surprising amount of places where the owners said to hell with the changes and went back to their old ways and habits.
On Gordon Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares they don't let the restaurant KEEP all the overnight changes. Something about "this is what you COULD do" if you spent the money. They take out all the changes or allow the restaurant to purchase them outright. Kinda lame and a bit of trickery on the viewer.
He tore into an old lady a couple of weeks ago.
He's yelling "you're a hoarder and you need help!"
Some of these places he walks into are downright disgusting.
Sorry about steering this off-topic Shoes...
I am convinced that show is scripted and the staff are all paid actors. The episode featuring the sociopath-filled family of a joint called Burger Kitchen was totally unbelievable. Hell, they were more like the Manson family than anyone else.
Even so, check out this list of closed restaurants formerly featured on Ramsay's show: What restaurants on "Kitchen Nightmares" have closed?

Yeah the Ramsay show is completely unbelievable. Same script every week, they pay customers to come in to create a rush.
If you look at reviews of the restaurant online afterwards 4/5 they have either closed or they are as bad as they were before he went in.
It's actually an offshoot of the original UK version which was much better, a lot less contrived and fake.
Shoes is there any timetable on when you'll hear back about this? Maybe go for a second interview?
They said they wanted to wrap it up quickly - but that's on university time.
Well I hope they at least give you a courtesy e-mail either way. I've applied for jobs before where they simply don't talk to you again if they've gone with someone else and I find it quite unprofessional.
Yeah I hope so too. I'm being really positive about this one, I think it would be really weird if I didn't get a second interview.
Just ignore Elvis. I'm not taking it to heart - and I'm not on a road to nowhere. Especially if that's any place he is.
The hardest part is the waiting.
I hear ya' Sesh. Happened to me at my current job. Up for a promotion, most qualified, earned my stripes and then some, and they ended up promoting someone who had been with the company for 5 months. (I've been there 6 years). You just never know. But Shoes, you have the intelligence and the "charasma", so I think you're good to go. If they don't choose you, then that's their loss, totally. I am sending you lots and lots of positive thoughts......I got a good feeling about this!!
"Why behave in public if you're livin' on a playground?"
I didn't get it.
Their loss.

sorry to hear that shoes
fuck your fucking framing
Elvis wins.
Dang Shoes, ####... You will find a great job soon enough and the ones who don't hire you will never know what they are missing. They're loss.
I always recomend calling back two days past the interview, to put the presure on the employer to hire you, show your interest in .. not letting anyone else get the job ..this can backfire, but puts in understandable terms how much you are interested....and if the position is not right for you, they will let you know and you don't sit around for two weeks waiting for the call either way..better for you better for them.
Good luck in the future.

Chin up, Shoes. Put on your favorite Roth/VH album, have a glass (or two, or three) of wine and remember you have - for the most part - a platoon of Roth Army soldiers pulling for you.
Tomorrow's a new day, and as that Beatles' song goes, tomorrow never knows.
Who loves ya, baby?
My karma just ran over your dogma.
Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like ya mean it!
