Breakin' Out the Bubbly

So I have a new job. So far, I love this new job. I'm getting to watch people do exactly the job that I want to be doing. (I know, go with me.) It's good experience. But, it's temporary - through November. So, in a temporary job, especially, it's important to be impressive. Even if I'm not in this office long-term, I want to be within the system long-term. So, I go early, I stay late, I'm eager, I take out people's recycling... and I don't turn down a task, no matter how menial.



Then I am introduced to this cabinet:

Turns out, I need to know a little something about liquor. More specifically, if our office happened to be hosting an event with, say, Portuguese Octapodi grilled with micro organic greens, olive oil and red wine vinaigrette for dinner... I may have to come here and choose the - beverages - that would most appropriately accompany such a meal.

Truth be told, I'm ill equipped for such a task. However, this is not information that I choose to share. In fairness, it wasn't on my resume, and wasn't brought up in my interview. So, untruthful I have not been!

I don't have to serve it. I don't have to drink it. I don't even have to watch too-wealthy benefactors drink it. And so, I shall choose their - beverages. But first, I'll research.

Here's to being a star employee, and to learning new skills. Oh yeah, and to temp work. Cheers.
