job offers and such
so an older gentleman came through my register at menards last night. how the conversation started i do not remember, but he told me he was the owner of a bar ("the club"), and that if i showed up last night and asked for monty, he would buy me a drink. i was generally in the mood to go out anyway, and then he said the magical words "karaoke competition", and i was hooked.
got to the bar a bit after 7, and monty said i could have whatever i wanted. (i had a 45 minute drive home when i was done and i wasn't sure how long i'd stay since i was there alone, so i didn't take advantage of his offer, and just had a bud.) then, he sat me down at the judges table, since i was too late to join the competition itself, and introduced me to one of his bartenders, jenny.
jenny and i hit it off. if i was a lesbian, i'd have asked her home with me. as it was, we danced to the karaoke music, and generally carried on like we'd known each other for more than 10 minutes. by the end of the night, i knew a few of the regulars, and had sung a few songs myself (outside competition, because again, i was too late to join), and it was a good time.
so joshua had come out, and monty kept wandering over and telling us how glad he was that we'd come out, how we should invite more people, and how it was nice to see such a cute couple in his bar. and after my last song, right before i left for home, jenny stopped me and said "so monty likes you, and tonight he sat you next to me to see if i liked you. it was pretty much your unofficial interview. we'd like to hire you to tend bar."
i told her i knew nothing about bartending, and she said it didn't matter cuz she didn't when she started, either. and i REALLY think it'd be fun. but joshua pretty much got pissy about it (imagine that), so for now i think i'm going to refuse and just hang out there a lot. maybe i'll do it this summer, after i move out of here and away from joshua. it's a bit far away to be driving after bar close anyway.
but of course, i'm still WAY excited, and i feel like a catch.
