Who's got her first bartending gig tonight?
Dianna's got her first bartending gig tonight. I'm the replacement bartender for someone's small but liquor-rich holiday party, so all I have to do is show up looking relatively respectable and make martinis for 4 hours.
Whose time is now worth $25 an hour?
My time is now worth $25 an hour. That's the rate suggested by my esteemed bartending school, which was the source of this last-minute opportunity. I am profoundly indebted to them both for calling me and saying "go bartend for these people", and for the quote. $25/hour for a complete beginner at liquor-slinging? I never would have dreamed. I was worth $10.58 at my last job after 3.5 years and one promotion.
I think I'm going to take my $100 in filthy lucre and go get tattooed as an offering of gratitude to the gods of career changes.

Posted by: michele at December 20, 2003 12:08 AMYeah for liquor slinging at $25 bucks an hour! I hope it went well and there are more rich holiday partiers to come!
Posted by: Jolie at December 20, 2003 03:32 PMAlright, Dianna. You are now completely qualified to settle a debate I've been having in San Diego. In fact, I can't think of a person more qualified than you. So riddle me this:
Blue curacao = is it cura-cow, cura-sow, cura-co?
What's the official bartender's pronunciation?
And I know you're worth $25 an hour these days, but I can only pay you seventy-eight cents for this information.

except i think it should be cur-rack-a-rack-a-rooooow.
Posted by: michele at December 20, 2003 11:43 PMIt's cura-sow. Because actually the second c is one of those funny c-with-a-squiggle-at-the-bottom frenchy letters. And 78 cents is perfectly reasonable since it only took me a minute or so to type this answer. Also, Michele never spoke here and doesn't really exist so the 78 cents doesn't go to her. I swear.
