I Start Tuesday

So I finally got around to calling the local bar school yesterday, and as of about 12:45 today I'm officially enrolled in their 40-hour mixology class starting next Tuesday. It'll run 10:00-2:00 Tuesday-Friday next week, Monday-Friday the week after, and I'll (hopefully) graduate the next Monday. The school has a graduation rate of about 90% and they land jobs for 91% of the graduates, so as of now I have an 81% chance of leaving SKF for greener pastures within the next month. I'm after a job in the University Heights area, which is about 15 minutes from home now and about 5 minutes from home in June, where I'll serve mostly Bud Light and shots of tequila to the college crowd and make between $400 and $800 weekly. This is vastly better than my current average pay of $305.13. Plus, I'll get the two things I liked about Remke that I haven't had in a job since: flexible hours and actual customer interaction.

I will finally get paid to do something I already do for some of you guys for free, and I will enjoy doing it. Things are getting better, kids.
