What's UR Poison?

The owner of a new bar opening on the North side of Halsted asked me today if I was looking for a job. Specifically, he wanted to know if I'd like to become a bartender. I told him that's not really where I'm at today, but thanks for the offer.

Not that I didn't give his question any thought. I keep telling myself I want to do something different. Well, being a bartender would sure qualify.

When I see him again, I'm going to make sure I say "thanks" again for the offer. I took his question as a compliment. And to think he's trying to hire in an economy where people need jobs, again, it was a nice gesture.
