Not a lot
So... what's new with the world?
Well, I'm working at Wetherspoons in Livingston, which is nice. Taking on as many hours as I can, working, pulling pints, running food, and generally enjoying myself.
One of my customers turned round to me the other day and commented that I always smiled as though it was the best job in the world, and serving whichever customer it is at the time was a lifelong ambition of mine. And I got to thinking... actually? It really is a good job.
I like working behind a bar.
1. You get to know your regulars.
2. You get to chat to people, laugh, joke and generally enjoy yourself while pulling pints.
3. People are happy in pubs!
4. The shifts change around so you don't get stuck with early mornings every day.
5. I'm bloody good at it. There's a certain satisfaction to knowing just how long each pint takes to pour, and being able to run a Guinness, cider, lager, and coffee all at once, reaching each pump or T-bar just in time to cut the flow off.
And, of course, you get the customers asking for your phone number, which is always a good self-esteem boost ;)
