It is done... After going to bartending school here in N.J. last October, to finding my first "stepping stone" position at a Billiard Hall right outside NYC, then ripping through 4 other establishments in between then and now... where I'm residing comfortably at the BEST f***ing place to work EVER!...(that's another story) I have completed the grand task where I depended so much on this beloved new profession to help me see through. I'm a 27 year old male with no college education, no special skills whatsoever to lend me a hand with getting some high-paying labor job (and no muscles as well), and in no way have any financial help from anyone, be it friends or family. But...in the past 10 months and 27 days behind "the bar" I've managed to deplete all of my $12,000 of debt...all while living on my own, getting raped by N.J. car insurance, and blah bills blah bills blah... Oh yeah, and I'm not some muscle-bound, good-looking guy either...So you understand I've been through alot of rejection over the past year jumping from bar to bar looking for a job. I can't say I'm not tired though...I'm currently working a full-time, low-paying "corporate hell" day job 5 days a week, while bartending 6 nights a week including all day/night Sunday...but the debt is now gone, and I'm on my way into my own apt. (no more roommates!) and new car...(I've been suffering for the past 4 months in an 85' Ford Tempo with no radio)... At the risk of sounding simple and plain...all I have to say is this profession is the BEST... Anyone with personality and common sense can pick themselves up and change their status with a little willpower... and lots of caffeine I don't know why I felt I needed to send this to you Webtender forum people I guess cause' I knew you'd all appreciate the weight of it ...and the newbies might gain some strength in those volitale rookie stages... Thanks for your guys help in the past year. I've learned alot from your raving & drooling It's been crazy. *..((·° ¸..· ´¨¨) :?: ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ :?: ·´¯`·?>©~Heavywhere~© ..·°-:?:- *-:?:- °·..* ¸..· ´¨¨)) :?: ¸..· ´¨¨)) :?: *..·°- ¸.· ¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ :?: °-:?¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:? *..·°-°)) ´¨¨)) *..· :?: ©~
