So you're a human vending machine? You don't really have any skills, and your ability to dispense drinks isn't really in short supply. Which explains why bar people here make fuck all money - because most of them work a minimum wage job with a minimum wage skill and don't get tips. Which is the way it should be.

Haha, absolutely and positively false. The rest of my day was much slower pace. I'm really good at talking to customers, making them laugh, and providing great service. Its a two headed part of the job. Sometimes you gotta stretch out what you have, sometimes you have to be really really fast and efficient.

The simple fact is that most people couldn't do it or wouldn't want to do it. On top of all of that, the bars I work at hires for attractiveness as well, so even if you had the skills you'd never have a chance to get your foot in the door.

No do, consider this me getting you started. I'd like you to explain why I'm an incompetent twat, it will entertain me. Put the drugs down and explain.

Your incompetent, because you still bring up drugs like that offends me, if you were someone i cared about you would know that i haven't done a drug in months.

And even with a sober outlook, you'd kill to have my life. Beautiful woman by my side, making very good money (legally!) and i've never been happier, the old heller would probably sit here and argue with you back and fourth, but im just gonna say one final thing and leave.

Your a fucking loser, you have no life and you have how many posts in the 3 months you've been here? point proven.

Do they still allow you to smoke cigs and drink alcohol at your rehab?
Alcohol is a drug, just so you know.

I've been out of there since the the first week of december, I live back with my roomate.

And i drink MAYBE 2 nights a week, with maybe 4 shots a night. I wouldn't call that getting shitfaced.


Compared to everyone i know, i drink 1/4 of the amount they consume.
