Bartender
Cutters Inn
(Food & Beverages industry)
January 2004 — November 2007 (3 years 11 months)
Working in this small town bar was a blast. It's located in upstate NY in a bay-town. There is a lot of summer tourism, then in the winter it gets pretty quiet (and very snowy). I enjoyed meeting new people all the time and hearing the stories they had to tell. I learned so many new, interesting things about motorcycles, sailboats, fishing, and once met a man who was riding his bicycle around the border of all 48 states.
