That baby in your avi is awesome, IPW. LOL @ him looking all thoughtful and sech.

You seem to have some anxiety about it, though? Is it just the interviewing and applying part?

Not really. It's just really competitive out here. I was dating a bar back for my friends bar last year when I was getting ready to leave my job, and I said to him that maybe I'd ask the owner about working there. The dude actually got mad at me and was like, "NO! I'm the next bartender there! I've been backing there too long and if he gives you the job just because you're a girl I will flip out!"

It just kind of feels like it's hard to get in to that position. I was backing for my friend the other night and he told me I would have to probably ask a place to work for free (tips only) while I learned the job before they'd consider paying me.

I don't think it'll come to that for me...

She did her undergrad at UC Berkeley and med school at UCLA so she's pretty damn smart.

The baby is scared shitless, and it's because of who's behind him.

Well it ain't exactly easy pickings around here either, but you should get started anyway. Some bars have to be looking for actual applicants, and you just need to tell them that you're the best.

I hate to say it, but Vee is pushing 30 and should be looking for a career, not a job.

How many people are working in a bar till they retire at 60-65?

Who's behind him?

 

[KillerVee]

Oh you know what else? The bar that would be easiest for me to work at? .... I punched a beer out of the owners hand a few weeks ago cause he made a rude crack about me. Now he likes to say, "Hold on to your beers everyone! Vee's here!" when I walk in.

Why am I not surprised?

LOL! Had no idea that dude had a nickname, or that it was "baby eater."

Yeah, think of all the careers that are out there for people taking a course in women's history.

Running joke that we came up with over on the hockey board.

That counts as a history credit that is transferable to a UC!

She did her undergrad at UC Berkeley and med school at UCLA so she's pretty damn smart.

I could see doing that to study for exams or tests, but on a daily basis? If she's having to utilize every 10 minute block of her entire semester she doesn't belong there...

Don't take that as me calling her stupid though, I'm sure she's very intelligent if she got into UCLA.

Kane stuns them first by hitting them with a sock filled with loose coins that total $.20.
