So I was having toad-in-the-hole at the Bulldog today. Enjoying my food, admiring the keg tables and beer mats, when it suddenly hit me - holy cannoli, Batman! I want to work in a pub!

It's all the books I've been reading lately, I think. In the first few pages, there's usually a bit about the author which you can read to find out exactly how one gets to be a mad bastard/bitch. And the authors I read always seem to have gone through some dead interesting jobs. Which got me thinking - what sort of jobs will I get to brag about in the book I might write someday?

Well, I want one of them in a pub. So I asked a Bulldoggee if there were any job vacancies. There weren't, not for part-timers anyway. My heart was broken...for the two whole minutes it took to walk around the back to the next pub where coincidentally, one of the lads I was with knows the Owner. And there, surrounded by bar stools and pool tables, I had my first pub job interview.

So the Owner and I chatted a bit about the bloody long drive to where I live, how we both hate golf...y'know, matters of consequence. Anyways, to cut a long story short, he was undoubtedly overcome by my integrity and responsible nature as one can only quite naturally be cuz I got the job. I think. Which needless to say, is quite nice. Thanks of course must be given to CONDESCENDme for setting me up with the interview in the first place.

Now the only worm in my lettuce is how do I go about convincing my parents that working in a pub really is the best career move for me?

Congrats
Hey, congrats on your successful job interview, although I think it was a little unfair since you didn't have to go through the herve-wrecking waiting period before that. Haha. Anyway, with a new job comes an increase in monthly income. *hint hint* So remember who's the first one to congratulate you in your blog. Hehe. I even have this to prove it...

"Courage teach me to be shy"
People rarely give you what you want. Thus you need to make it seem like the something you really want is just something you need to get done, therefore it is good to be subtle. Subtleness is an art that allows you to tell someone that you are removing thier heart with a chopping knife and having them thank you for it. So as you take care of your cough* cough* worms remember the importance of art. +wink+

You're a psychologist-to-be. Wield the power of hypnotism, my friend.

Thanking youuuuu
My b'day was ok, the next day was better. Re: ure comment in the sahoutout box, I assume you were referring to your parents not letting you work at the pub. Just tell them that you could work at the pub, or they could just GIVE you $300 a week, lol
