fun and enjoyment for profit
Alright, there was no profit, but plenty of fun and enjoyment. So on Monday I was going to go home and ride my bike. Instead I went to the grocery store and then to The Tilted Kilt.
Well you might think that sounds like my favorite beer, Kiltlifter. But it's only a coincidence, outside of the fact that they serve it on tap for $3. Well, this place is a pretty sweet bar, with good beer and food. They have a ton of TVs, so it makes a pretty good sports bar as well. I had a handful of Kiltlifters and the corned beef "Sloppy Jane". Very tasty stuff. The best part is it's convenient, right off Warner and Kyrene, across the street from the Home Depot I go to.
Of course, I must describe the waitresses. Although none of them were overly amazing to look at, half dressed girls are never a bad thing to have around. In a bit of inebriation I described it as "The Library for adults". Here is a picture of the waitresses;
There is only one other of them around, and it's inside the Rio hotel in Vegas. Apparently the guy in Phoenix who opened this one plans to open 6 more around the city. Too bad.. things are generally better when they're one of a kind.
So today I was better. I rode my bike and lifted weights. I told everyone I would be late because of my exercise, but I made it the Bamboo Club off Mill just in time to order a drink and munch on some appetizers. Dinner was good, and the company was entertaining. I had the Honey Sesame Chicken, but tasted some of the other people's food as well. Someone had a hot and spicy chicken that was really good.
Despite the fun I have a bitter taste in my mouth after work today. Since I went on vacation last week I had not gotten a configuration needed to turn up a customer to the people that needed it. So I got them the configuration needed yesterday. Well, the non-customer focused part of it needed to be enabled as well. So, since the customer wanted to be turned on today I had one of the other engineering teams deploy the config for me. Turns out it broke 6 customers for less than a minute. I got shit from the manager of that group for the fact that I told them it was non-impacting. Funny, I don't have six years to test every possible combination of every possible thing on the planet to know that something might break if the stars align correctly. She was really bitchy about it, and just pissed me the fuck off. Oh well. I know she meant well, she just didn't present herself very reasonably.
