diving el solo......

so yesterday was a bit of a struggle, i got up at 7 after closing and went diving with clubmed without my faithful companion jeff, needless to say i was beyond spoiled when diving with an instructor. i dove with two guys, one man who had 500 dives but sucks back air like its going out of style but a super sweet man, and then a newyorker. the first thing he says to me is "hi i'm marty, you're a bartender right? you guys don't give a rats ass about the people on the other side of the bar do you?" to which i replied "good morning to you too". after about twenty minutes of discussion (me, cursing the hour boat ride to the dive site) i finally said you're a newyorker right? he said, oh the accent right? right.....the accent.
anyways he freaked out underwater and i came up from both dives with 3/4 of a tank of air but while i was down there it was beautiful, raining on the surface and calm and relaxing underneath. i was happy i went.
after a full day of sleep and working the close shift, today i am getting ready for our secret santa and staff party as well as my coyote ugly dance. that is slowly getting better. slowly.
off to work and make some eggnog.
