Subject: I love bartending

Happy Holidays everyone! Maybe I'm just feeling the Christmas cheer, but I 
just wanted to announce to the world that I really like working in a bar. We 
had our "office" Christmas party the other night, and it was the first time I 
ever felt like my coworkers were a family. I've worked many lousy corporate 
jobs, where friendliness and false camaraderie were forced upon the employees 
by some jerk in an office and a suit. I always hated pretending to enjoy 
celebrating special events with the contrived office "family." I've even been 
reprimanded for refusing to be part of the "team" or failing to socialize with 
coworkers outside of the workplace. But now I work in a bar! And it's great. I 
love the people I work for, and I love the people I work with, and I love the 
fact that I can be honest and straightforward to them and trust they'll be the 
same to me. Sure, we have plenty of workplace bullshit, just like everywhere, 
but at least my friend and fellow bartender can show up at the office party 
wearing devil horns and a devil-motifed sweater, and no one even blinks. This 
is the best job ever.
And now look, here's this online bartending community, as well! How wonderful! 
Thanks to everyone on this forum for providing me with hours of 
alcohol-related entertainment and enlightenment. Merry Christmas and Happy 
Holidays, y'all!

Love, Pollyanna 
(I swear I haven't been drinking)
