Le sigh. I wish I worked with people who liked bartending. Even though they’re bartenders, doesn’t seem like they enjoy it. I came in today and it’s really busy because it’s a Sunday afternoon and the weather is beautiful and people are going out for St. Patrick’s Day. My coworker for the night who had gotten in just a half hour before kinda joked that it’s a shit show and he already wishes he was off. Meanwhile I’m stoked that it’s busy because of money obviously but also time goes quickly, and it’s fun! I like bartending! I like making drinks! I like getting into the flow state! It feels good to make people happy when they admire/enjoy their drink and the service! My old manager who left in November would be like this, and it was infectious if I wasn’t already in that mode or feeling a little overwhelmed. And I know I could be that person for others, but it just sucks. Hard to not be brought down.
