With two weeks to go until wheels up to Australia things are starting to get hectic. This weekend was my first two of four bartending classes and its freaking exhausting. 8 hours Saturday and Sunday learning acronyms for what goes in a kamikaze, to memorizing the difference between Canadian whisky and the US variety. In true Scott fashion I ducked out early each day because, c'mon, like I was going to stay the whole time. Since I am just trying to learn the basics of how to work in a bar I felt that 5-6 hours was enough of my time. Plus, I am sure I will just be cracking open beers, pouring beers from the tap, and trying not to get glassed (an actual concern) while I am over there.
Glassing is a physical attack using a glass as a weapon. Glassing can occur at bars or pubs where alcohol is served, and a drinking glass or bottle is available as a weapon. The most common method of glassing involves the attacker smashing an intact glass in the face of the victim.
Post class on Saturday I had a 6:30 dinner reservation at casa Mccormack. I thought I was headed to a nice little family dinner to celebrate the Mccormack family being rid of me for 365 days, but when I turned onto their street, Scotty didn't know. After seeing about 15 of my closest friends cars, Mike Mac asking me what I was doing there, and Michelle Gervin making her yearly appearance in Issaquah, I figured something was up. Somehow the group was able to keep it a surprise, and that along with the fact that so many people showed up to wish me well....it was just pretty special. The group ranged from friends I had since first grade at Clark Elementary to Sr member Fred Reiss. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you all again, you don't know how much you all mean to me.
April Fools, I hate you all!!!!!!!

Even if you don't remember how to make all the drinks at whichever bar you wind up tending, just carry around boxes with a determined look on your face. Surely, someone will think you're busy.
