I've noticed that as I get further along in life. I used to take for granted that "dating" meant a relationship or mutual interest involving romance and/or commonality. Now it just means, "the person I am exclusively fucking right now to avoid random disease who isn't too bad but I really hope it's not forever because they can be a little bitch on occasion and God I would never let them meet my parents."
Tam edit: My best week there I made two grand in four days.
I don't see the big deal with meeting parents. I mean sure, there's the "Will they like me" thing, but, hell, with my parents at least I think my mother would be happy with anyone who's hot and fucking me.

FFFFFFFFFFFFF
How does one become a bartender?
Prerequisite #1: Know how to make drinks
Prerequisite #2: Know how to talk to people
2 is much more important than 1.
This is pretty much it. Everything else is personal style.
Also, I wouldn't recommend a career as a bartender or even trying to do it 'just for a bit' because it sucks you in and doesn't let go. I wouldn't change my life for all of the knowledge I've gained, but I wish I'd had a better money saving and investment plan built into my world view.

it's still pretty obscene how much money you can make though
i'm pretty sure i pulled down $1400 between december 26th and january 2nd. this is waiting tables though, which while similar to bartending, is a different beast in some areas.
hasn't been that busy the past week or so, but that's january for you. people burnt out and broke from the holidays.
Part of the awesomeness of eventually taking over the place I've worked ten years is that I've already done more than my share of the grunt work. So usually when I show up I ask if the bartender or waiter wants to go home. Usually they say yes, which results in me making an extra 200-300 dollars cash, untaxed.
His idea of a Rum and Diet was an entire goddamn highball glass full of rum followed by enough diet coke to semi-color the mix.
Sounds like my kind of people. Except for the diet part. I can't stand the flavor of aspartame.
Well I was the one ordering... though now my drink of choice is a Tom Collins.
It was also basically the after-party of my NYC reading, with the younger parts of the cast. We all went to this great BBQ and got pretty nice and tipsy on my producers husbands tab, and then the older actors called it a night, and the youngin's went to another bar in the Villaige(Marie's Crisis. Mon/Wed or Thurs(can't remember which... one of the two. Definitely monday though), it pretty much turns into a gay bar, but the pianist is fucking awesome), and got even more smashed. After about 3 of those Rum+Diets the pianist, who came to our show, because my lyricist has become good friends with him, and he wanted to give the rest of the bar an insight into what they missed, since he really liked it(Which I was maybe most nervous about). So since he doesn't want to sightread we've got one of our smashed leads singing and me, completely trashed, playing piano on a piano I've never touched before, in an NYC bar.
Motherfucking good night. Also I learned that I can play piano just as well when drunk as when sober.
"Free beer sampling was very popular among our beer drinking patrons," he said. "But we did this to broaden our profitability and appeal to people who may not be (beer drinkers) as well as those not of legal age."
who the hell else would be interested in coming
"We've been breaking the law on purpose for 50 years" sounds like the kind of thing the corporate lawyers should try to get you not to say to the press.
what the fuck does this even mean?
If interpreted in a way that they obviously didn't mean it, it sounds like "this" could refer to "free beer sampling," as though they were giving out free beer to people who couldn't legally drink in order to broaden their appeal. (Although that is obviously not what they meant.)

Somebody get me a job that pays decently and has good benefits.
Join the army
FUCK NO! My buddy joined recently (July) and he has been dicked over since day one; the military as it is today is not the military that I joined a decade ago. It's absolutely frightening how little loyalty is left.

I was just put on notice at my job. Also lost a weeks worth of shifts.
Apparently my hard work and great customer interaction skills don't make a shit of a difference because I don't look happy while I am taking out the trash or waiting for a game to start.

And that sucks, I hate the whole 'having to have a smile' attitude some workplaces have
Well, it's not that I'm 'unhappy' because I love my job and I look forward to work everyday and it takes every bone in my body not to show up a couple hours early and just hang out (this is frowned upon)
The issue is that I just don't, 'look happy'. Which... oh well... It doesn't help that i did a word vomit on a manager when she came to give me some tips about it. I had just been told by another staff member that someone had been spreading rumors about me and that most of the staff thinks I'm an asshole and I was pretty freaked out that shortly after a manager was coming to talk to me in private.
Kind of my fault... but i dunno it's stressful none the less.

but it's out of altruism more than anything else.
You should, however, let everyone meet Steph.
It would not be Steph meeting them, it would be them meeting Steph. For sure.

His girlfriend was at the bar, and they were doing shots together.

I'd be dead in a week
Work sucked today and it's not until I'm here that I become frustrated beyond belief.
booooo
this year I will hella be getting one
and I need to tell my mom to stop putting me as a fucking defendant
She pays for literally 0 things
dependent
also chances are her listing you as a dependent gets her a bigger tax break than your stimulus check would have been, so
Apparently my hard work and great customer interaction skills don't make a shit of a difference because I don't look happy while I am taking out the trash or waiting for a game to start.
I originally wrote dependent but misspelled it
and then firefox FUCKED ME
And that sucks, I hate the whole 'having to have a smile' attitude some workplaces have
but I don't get any of that fucking money
also it's lying on a federal form
I came as fast as I could.

Pretty sure the only prerequisites to listing children as dependents are age and relation.
