Tell jokes, light smokes, and sling drinks.

  When most of my friends were still playing cowboys
and indians I announced to my father that I wanted a
job, and for better or for worse i began my working
life. What my father neglected to inform me of was
that working is like shaving and masturbation; once
you begin your tied to it for the rest of your life.

  In the eleven years since, I have had more jobs than
I can count. I have worked as a ranch hand,
been in construction and demolition, sold every product and
service under the sun and even had a job where I was
paid to read comic books. However for the last year or
so I have been working as a bartender- by far the most
stressful and rewarding of all my professions.

  Every day I see people at the best and worst moments
of their lives. I see them when their inhibitions are
lowered and their guard is down. This volatile
combination has lead to certain observations and
conclusions that I would like to share with others.
Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated, and I
will answer all e-mail.
