my job must fucking love me.

i'm stoked. i'm a backwait at a decently upscale, small restaurant here in my college town. been doing it for about 6 months. I'm now the go-to backwait, meaning that basically when they need someone in fast and without complaint, they go to me. i work at least twice as much as the other backwaits, and i don't mind at all.
well, i turned 21 two months back, so i've been talking to my boss about bartending. he's going to train me to be the dinner bartender like a night or two during the weekdays. fucking sweet. it'll be a great learning experience, not to mention moneys.
so while still riding that high, the head chef propositions me with a part-time gig line cooking a few nights a week as well (like $10-12/hr). i told him i'd think about it because i am still a full-time student afterall, but that's just fucking sweet. i really enjoy cooking and this would be a great chance to learn some skills. the problem is, i'd go from working like 3 days a week (thurs, fri, sat and the occasional weekday) to working like 6 or 7 days a week.
i really don't think i could manage my hours well enough, so i probably won't do the cook thing, or if i do then it'll have to be literally only one or two nights a week. but it's fucking cool as hell knowing they like me enough to try and get me into these new positions. plus, i love working there and really wouldn't mind doing it for a few years after i graduate next fall. i'm going to start bartending! fuck yes!

very cool man yeah bartending can draw in some good money with the tips - not to mention the possibility of meeting some women (always a plus). i worked in a decent restaurant a long time ago and got $10/hr to bust my ass as a dishwasher. the job gave me 2 good things - a decent paycheck for a 16 year old, and the total, complete, and utter disgust for such a line of work which consequently motivated the fuck out of me to learn a skilled trade for some real bills. ah well, good on you rabid!

eh, i enjoy it. i'm gonna leave college with 2 degrees, but i'm really in no rush to utilize them. i'm not really even interested in the subjects.. just figure it's good to have a couple of college degrees.

I'd definitely stick with the waiting. The tips in an upscale restaurant can be great. Especially once you are really comfortable doing it.

Its true. I've been having girls give me their numbers while I was bartending and I wasn't even flirting with them. I don't even have to try. I guess I also have an advantage being the least drunk and most attractive guy there. But any effort I used to have to exert to initiate conversation and get cute girls numbers is just not necessary now that I'm bartending. Just don't screw up the good lookin girls' cocktails.
