Rec | TALKING TO THE BARTENDER

🍻

I just grabbed a hard cider at the ski resort bar and chatted with the bartender for two hours while intermittently watching the BU vs NU women's hockey game. He told me to find my people and that when I find my people, I'll find my dream job because they'll also be working there. I never got his name and I probably will never see him again because this is the last night he's working before I leave Vermont. But he walked me out through the secret staff entrance so I didn't have to wait for the shuttle bus in the cold and told me Thank you and Goodbye. It was epic. I feel drunk on human connection.

Awkward run ins with old coworkers -> keeps u humble

I quit my restaurant job back in January of this year (a story in and of itself) and was promptly replaced by a person I deem to be an infinitely cooler hotter more indie version of me My personal life was in a tizzy so I didnt bother keeping contact w said coworkers ofc Last week I went out and went very very hard and wound up ditching local 4 for a gathering at 5 (one of my fav dive bars) i step out of whatever mode of transportation got me to said bar and am instantly met with 6 of my old coworkers and this new person who I’d been ig admiring on the DL I was drunk and happy to slopily mingle at the time gushed over my replacement and offered to buy everyone drinks ….long story short, although I’ve been assured it’s not as bad as I’m remembering it to be, I feel slightly humiliated just being that intoxicated and tripping on my words so much I could continue my rant but I feel like maaaaany ppl can relate to what I’ve already said and are smart enough to fill out the rest of the paint my number Whole scenario checked me in a major way

Went to visit an old friend at a bar they work at

Messaged an old kinda-on-and-off again friend from high school, we hadn’t seen each other since pre-covid. She invited me out to a bar she works at in the area. I had always passed it for years and never noticed it before. Good conversation, good wings, a nice glass of white wine. I probably rambled on a little too much about myself, but it is what it is. It’s probably easier to talk to each other now than it was back then. Didn’t realize how badly I needed a hug jfc, unexpectedly made me feel better. I’m just kinda rambling on now.
