My Girl Got a Job Bartending
Posted on January 6, 2010
So it has been tough these last six months, one reason is that my girl has been out of work. And if you have been struggling to find work here lately, you know that it is a pain in the ass. I told her that she should become a bartender, I mean it really is the perfect job if you are tending a bar at the right place. So I went online and did some research to see if I could help in any way, so I got her a bartenders guide that I ran across, and for the price I have to say that it was a very good deal. With the help of the bartenders guide and some great other resources she started to get the hang of mixing drinks.
Of course I had to go to the liquor store and buy a couple hundred bucks worth of booze, but all of it was getting put to good use anyway, and then so was the bartenders guide. This is a win win situation for me if you think about it. As I do not have to make any drinks anymore, I just ask my girl to make them for me, and at the same time she is getting experience too. So about a month goes by of her making drinks at the house, and we hosted a couple of parties too where she was tending the tiki bar out back. She is a good looking girl too, so it was time for her to really start pushing this new career of hers.
See there are many bartending schools that are out there, but just because you can pass bartending school does not mean that you will be able to get a job as a bartender. Many places and many bars would prefer to have a hot girl behind the counter serving up drinks, why is this? If you are a guy you already know the answer to this question. If there are 2 bars side by side and one has a hot girl as a bartender and the other does not, which bar are you more likely to go and get some drinks at. Exactly.
Well my girl finally landed a job at a pretty busy sports bar. Which is a good thing because there are sports year round, and also this will be cool because I will be able to get some discounted drinks during football season as I know now where I am going to be going to watch the games. 
Bartending For Beginners
Posted on March 25, 2009
So I am one that loves to drink in case you have not noticed, I usually try not to miss a day either. My problem is that I am too repetive in what I drink. Like every night it is either bacardi and diet coke, or just some bud light limes or some coronas. I mean I have the money to afford a bunch of liquor, but I just do not have the knowledge nor do I have the patience to sit down and learn all these recipes for drinks and shots, I have a book but there are over 500 in there. But just recently I purchased this ebook titled Bartending For Beginners, and the book blew me away. The best thing about it was the price, it has everything that the beginning bartending needs. It is full of bartending tips, drink and shot recipes, bar jokes, bar tricks and much more. The price of bartending For Beginners is only 7 bucks, which is well within my budget and as soon as payed I was able to download it right then and there, no waithing a couple of weeks for some crap company to ship out my crap book, I get it this way instantly.
So now I can actually throw a party and be a good host, as I am not the type that wants to start a career as a bartender, mainly because I like the job that I got now and do not have to deal with a bunch of drunk assholes everynight, as I would if I were a real bartender. But now when I throw a party I can be the bartender for my party and make a bunch of different kinds of shots and stuff, instead of taking just straight Tequila Shots with lemon and salt, those do get boring after a little while. The types of drinks that are mentioned in Bartending for Beginners are pretty common with some more rare ones, altogether there are about 50 drink recipes. Once I get all of those down, I will have some good basic knowledge about bartending and will be able to move on to more advanced drinks. So for 7 dollars this is a very good investment. My buddy had went to bartending school and I showed him the book, he said that it was packed with loads of information. Because if you want to become a professinoal bartender, clubs and bars do not care about what kind of bartending school that you went to. They want to hire someone that has a good personality, can make a drink fast, and is very good as multi-tasking. Nobody out there wants to hire a boring ass bartender that has no people skills what so ever. So that is why you must get your hands on the best bartenders guide that is out there.
Enough about that, what is there to do now, there is no football and my ncaa basketball team got kicked out of the tournement because they suck. Luckily I do live in Florida and it is Spring Break here, so next day off I think that I will go to the beach and let my beer gut hang, scope out the babes and such. Maybe I will take some pictures of me getting shot down and me getting drunk. Well until next time my fellow drunks.
