Liquor license is mandatory in every state to run a bar, or place that sells it. For the other stuff that may help you and about a billion others calm down and relax, well that is based on how legal the happy weed is in your state, and accessibility. Though for what it is worth I would give you a script for a quarter bi-weekly to deal with the amount of stress you have. Psych eval pending of course.
Yeah, i get that part. Never heard of needing a license to tend bar, though. Legal as wearing pants in Rhode Island. Kind of takes the fun out of it, though. Kids today don't understand that we used to run from the cops when they caught us smoking weed. Now you can puff on a joint while you're leaning against a cop cruiser, which would have sounded fun to me 25 years ago, but is kind of meh now.
I mean....it`s not a bar tending license. It`s actually a certificate from the liquor control board of PA through the responsible alcohol management program...RAMP. Which you get through a overly long and dry several hour online course. New laws went into effect in 2017 where everyone who serves needs to be certified by at least six months after employment. I called it a license as short hand. Guess I could`ve said i`m certified to tend bar, same meaning really. I knew RAMP certified would just be confusing to non Keystoners.
You need them in Canada, too. They're not hard to get, though. It's like 45 bucks and an hour long online course.
When I was bartending in the U.S., I didn't have any kind of card or license related to that. I had a food-handlers card because the owner of the restaurant wanted everyone to have one whether they were involved in food prep or not, but that was about it. This was a number of years ago, however.
Interesting. For some reason, I thought they might be like poets ie impractical, dreamy... Both extreme types of thinking. Reporting back from the edge, and all that.
I'd love to know what this... is. Am I missing something obvious, or did you just make it up? No need to explain. It really tickled me. I felt sad when the bee died!
Ah, thank you ha ha, I was really confused. It's clever, isn't it? I was thinking, who is it, Groucho Marx? Charles Bukowski or something?
Okay, so regular alcohol certification. That makes more sense. We have to certify everyone in RI now. Even my 16 year old bus kids need TIPs cert. Why? No fucking clue.
I was a consulting engineer, designing and building control systems mostly for the amusement park industry. Got marginally involved in stunt control systems for TV. Built and programmed some video wall systems for concert tours (I actually said hello to Paul McCartney! (Though he'd never remember me - I bet he meets thousands of people). I literally bumped into Justin Timberlake and had to excuse myself! I could drop a couple of more names, but I don't want all of you to feel shriveled and insignificant in my august presence. I am, of course, kidding. I hate people like me - people who spot a celebrity across the room and think they're special because of it. "Oh, you said hi to Paul McCartney? Can I have your autograph?") Anyway, I worked on shows for the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Tokyo DisneySea, Seaworld in Orlando, etc. I worked on a couple of TV commercials, one movie, some trade show things, a couple of virtual-reality simulator games, and a few industrial control projects. I am now moderately somewhat retired and living mostly on savings and investments. I rejoice in each day the phone does not ring.
Yeah guess I should`ve just said that. Here it`s just anyone who serves it needs one. What on Earth is a busboy gonna serve? I mean the busboys in the hotel do room service to so they might but I don`t see why they would in a traditional restaurant setting. But can I get that autograph though?
I work items processing for a bank. Fancy way to say I type numbers for 8 hours every day. I used to work in a photo production lab, but higher pay demanded I leave.
So with a few keystrokes in the right part of the database you could give yourself a raise maybe? (I had this thought in Zoidbergs voice)
I work in a greenhouse that is owned by the Bernheim Research Forest. It's not on site, in Clemont, but our benefactor sends us plants based on the certain dividends received by invested stocks. We plants these in berms for public viewing in the arboretum and also offer hybridization and laboratory services to various people who engage in flower shows or in the registration of pedigreed cultivars. I personally deal mostly with flasking, micropropigation of meristematic tissue, grafting and other activities flagged by the forum's spellchecker as incorrectly spelled. -SIN
Wow...that feels oddly symbolic of my dead childhood... Also, I'm no dendrologist, but you'd expect to see some callus or woundwood, and I can... But not as much I'd expect. 6/10, seen weirder, but would make a bitching book cover. -SIN
Soils lab tech. I basically work with fellow techs in performing various tests on soil samples for construction purposes. :3 We test stuff like liquid/plastic (dry) limit, density of soils, gradation of soils in sieves, etc. It's hella fun.
My sister-in-law, before we lost her to breast cancer, was a soils analyst and geologist for the oil-and-gas and construction industry. She was also a strong eco-advocate, studying plumes for both sides. She had good friends on both sides. She was successful in improving best-practices and stopping drilling in eco-sensitive areas. She was a win-win person. Just had to say.
