So a little background on me. I wasn’t always a fun loving bar tender. I used to be a ball busting manager. In fact I started managing at the age of 20 and went straight corporate within the span of 9 years with two major companies. I have a degree in International Business with a minor in Marketing. I thought I wanted big business. It was all fun, the suit, heels, business meetings, expense account, gas card, traveling for work.
Amazing and for sure life changing events that I would never change as it has shaped me into who I am today. The one thing in common with all these said “dream” jobs I had busted my ass so hard for was STRESS. My life needed a change. No amount of sun salutations or namaste rituals were going to bring me our of that whole of a life. I truly felt like I was working 24/7 with my job being home based when I wasn’t traveling. The stress was absolutely killing me from the inside out….
Luckily or Unluckily (I’ll let you be the judge of that one) my company went through some layoffs and yup you guessed it…
So I find myself for the first time in 10 years with no full time job, no school commitment, no boyfriend and extra cash in my pocket. What else would any rational 29 year old recently unemployed female do? Bar tend…naturally. Lots of music, hustle and tips…I always loved Starbucks and used to say ” just like bar tending without the alcohol” . So here we come full circle, I no longer have the stress of managing unmanageable people and I absolutely love the work I do in the environments I am in.
Doesn’t even seem like work any more…Is this cheating HaHa I am having way too much fun ;*) .
