Smokin' Good Times

So this job that I got is at a hookah bar. I'm working part time and it's mostly just helping out the owner. So it's not hourly or anything official. But everything about it, with the assumption that I will make at least worthwhile money, is perfect for me. I work late night shifts, they aren't even open during the day. That is good for two reasons: one, I could never get called in during the day. Two, it leaves me all the time in the world to do what I want, including looking for a job. I'll only be working weekends during their busy time of the week. I know people that go there already. There doesn't seem to be a dress code, and it's obvious my hair, tattoos, piercings aren't a problem. It's incredibly close by. Annnnd I love hookah. The owner seems really cool, but he has an accent and speaks low so I don't understand much of what he says. I have yet to tell him I'm hard of hearing, so hopefully it will be better. I start tonight, so I'm very excited but naturally very nervous.

How did this happen, you may be asking yourself. Well, in a way I've always dreamed to happen. Whilst being a customer and just having a job offered to me. It's kind of bad, but that was the fantasy I had. Just to have a job offered to me, without much effort on my part. Lazy, I know. But hey, it happened! It was only my third visit there an just kind of came into conversation, he thought I was employed at the bar across the street. But I then informed him that I was unemployed and blah blah. He said "Well, do you need a job?" And that's when the glory started. I will have to let you guys know how it goes after tonight/this weekend.

The only partial downside to this, is now, of all times is when I actually need the free time. Vagina Monologues is this weekend and it starts when my shift starts. I was so excited to see it again, but now I can't. As well, in the future there will be more themed events much like the Prom Night Revival, that will occur on weekends. So I don't know if I will get away with flexibility or not. We'll see.
