Drive Me Crazy

otherwise known as the tale of a horrid wednesday

it's pretty frustrating the way we have our system set up...maybe not the system, just the placement of where we're at...i feel like our table is vulnerable to the drunken atmosphere we're in...it's bad enough that ppl don't care about how they handle the mics, but when the bigger equipment is messed w/, oh boy!

we had a guy accidentally step on the wire that connects the tv to the computer (it's not the first time btw)...he must've got it pretty good though because not only did the screens stop displaying the words, but my computer screen was all on & off...interesting...well when it came back on i guess the size of the words were distorted...i figure we should restart the computer, no biggie...& while i was kinda upset w/ him, i figured it's not his fault anymore than it is ours (we need to find a better way to shield those wires!)...well my boss completely flipped out, "omg what the hell! fk connect the laptop, damnit!" & some more dialogue that i didn't catch i'm sure

it's stressful when things go wrong, but even more when the higher up isn't keeping it cool like he should...the rest of the night was completely silly, having problems connecting the laptop, having the wrong wires connected, accidentally cutting off someone's song cuz i was on a different program, & dealing w/ impatient ppl

i do get that it sucks when you have to wait like 20 mins just to sing a song that you've probably lost interest in doing, but you don't need to be rude about it...i had a group of guys who kept saying our karaoke sucked...& yes, that night was particularly bad, but it's not like that all the time (or else i wouldn't associate myself w/ it)...but i don't like dealing w/ rude ppl, esp when i'm under stress, & even more so when they are drunken fools...i wish i had the power to kick ppl out lol

so the computer works again, everything's cool...& maybe we'll find a way to prevent that from happening again...i'm pretty sure though that guy will probably be hesitant to come up & ask for a song again :P
