Lots of Bubbly



New Years Eve 2013

266 bottles of Barefoot Bubbly rolled out the door tonight during my three hour and fifteen minute shift. I could hardly keep the sample cups lined-up, answering questions, making up my favorites flavors, based on what I was pouring, and having a ball. I procured a few samples for myself as well as some of the liquor store staff since we had yet to try a few of the varietals.

A number of already tipsy customers arrived to select their resupply bottles from my limited options but they were happy. One woman squealed when I handed her a baby blue rubber ice cube tray with cute little bare feet cut-outs, for their party hostess. I am not certain the lady of the house actually got the gift, it most likely never left the middle man’s purse.

Got 18 out of 18 on my latest test, halfway through week number 5 and I am already getting nervous for the final in another weeks time. Normally I forget my first name when I hear, see, think about the word “test.” Test, test, test. I practice so I am not unjustifiably reactive. I have done well enough on the exams of the previous four weeks to feel more confident, if not giddy, about taking the last assessment of the recently acquired information. Remains to be seen, how I move through life after this class. My aim is to start another business, make a stab at marketing myself, so I don’t have to find a real job ever again. I have some ideas to kick around, resources to do the research, and time to build a plan before launching it. Will keep you in the loop, my friends.
