Id like to have the job, i'm more than qualified for it, but you still may 
have a lot of resentment towards me and I have nobody to blame but myself for 
that. You saw me the last time I was in there, talk to the guest from the 
other side of the bar more than your bartender, encouraged him to order a 
classic cocktail and I was just there on an "interview" which was more like 
newbies desperately trying to rationalize and justify their "skillz" to me.  
You know as well as I do by now, this town is full of people who have no idea 
how to make a drink or hold a conversation. Im willing to swallow my pride and 
and see this as water under the bridge, regardless if you are or not.
