Mate Beer

4 February 2010 // Filed under Uncategorized

So the day has finally come when they decided to merge two of the things I hold dear to my heart. The fantastic rocket fuel power of mate and the healing properties of the hops. Only 26 days and I will taste this creation first hand. I gotta say, a vacation is definitely in order. I’m tired of bleaching and ironing white shirts so I can don the yoke of oppression and wait on people I would never talk to in real life.

I realized the other day that I have worked in the food service industry for close to 14 years now. That is a lot of thank you’s and good nights. I long for the day when this is no longer part of my MO. Perhaps that day will come sooner rather then later. In this struggling economy it is hard to say when I will hang up my apron forever. Probably never, fast cash and short hours are the bain of my existence. I was told by a tiny Frenchman the other day, upon seeing my chalkboard art, that I shouldn’t be slinging beers, I should be using my talent. Cheers, if anyone wanted my talent I feel like i would have used it by now. I don’t know what I am waiting for, everyday thousands of people say good bye to unsatisfying jobs and strike out into the veritable wilderness of self employment and forage on nuts and berries until that giant tree of fancy fruit shows itself…I’ll gladly wander this woods if someone would just open up the cabin door so I can jump out.

Not that I am complaining to bitterly, oh no, goodness no- this profession has allowed me to see the world, live in countless places and given me an incredible sense of restraint. I’m just over it, time to get off the ride or I’m going to puke up my pink cotton candy. Any thoughts?
