I missed my calling
When my stepfather was alive, I wanted to tend bar at his little saloon. He didn't like the idea of the local drunks harassing me. I brought it up often, and the conversation would go something like this:
Me: Mom said you're looking for a bartender.
Chuck: Yes, but you're not doing it.
Me: But-
Chuck: No
Me: But it would be good exper-
Chuck: No
Me: But why-
Chuck: No
Me: I just don't under-
Chuck: No
Me: But then I wouldn't have to-
Chuck: No
Me: Fine
Now, his son owns the bar, and his cousins run it. Cousin Desiree is going over to meet with them tonight about being the new bartender. I hope she gets the job, but I have to admit, I'm a little jealous.
