I went "pro" - What it actually takes to do so

[lschiavo]

Ohhhh. Sorry. That slipped out. I'm kind of drunk

I always ignore your posts anyway.

 

[Yooper]

Wait. You stayed in health care. I retired.

Which one of us is the smart one again?

Oh, wait. I forgot. Smart is spelled smahrt in your area. Maybe you didn't understand.

Anyway, I like being a peon. In the ED last night, I said, "May I help you?" to someone. Then, I RAN back to my former partner and said, "Deb, I need you. Gotta guy in acute respiratory distress at the door."

She ran to assist, and I went back to my post as the Wal-Mart Greeter at our ED.

Gotta love retirement. :rockin: Of course, they no longer pay paramedic wages to me. But that's ok, I work like 4 days a month, more or less, saying "May I help you?" But I really don't help anybody, do anything much at all, never hurt myself, and never work overtime.

But ok, I do miss acute care. Sometimes. As a former respiratory therapist and paramedic, I do miss it. Sometimes.

By the way, I hear all the time that "everybody" wants to go pro. While it's great for Cape, that last thing I want to do is work hard. I am really good at "May I help you?", so if Cape ever needs a Walmart greeter for the brewery, I am more than well qualified. Just in case, keep me in mind, ok?

 

[TrickyDick]

Stay in health care. I've been to their brewery many a time . Trust me, In health care the money is better, the hours are better, and the smell is the same.

This coming from the guy whose not getting his balls busted on call. I don't think ken grossman or Jim Koch have worse hours and less money.

I cant believe I ended up in the middle of this. I'm just pissed that the Massholes seem to be having an influence on my Yooper. She is tender and vulnerable. Lay off Jerks!

Shhhhh. They think I'm a tough chick, with balls. Don't blow my cover. I'm big and bad, and they know it.

Although, one of them last weekend called me a "hummingbird" as I walked around the fire. Maybe "hummingbird" isn't as bad ass as I thought.

I see myself as more as an eagle, or even a vulture. No one seems to be scared of a hummingbird.

'Sic 'em @lschiavo !

Well, you're still the one that taught me to brew. I'll never forget my first brewday. I got yer back. I have seen hummingbirds kill...its not pretty.

 

[paulthenurse]

Uhhhhhhh.
No one called you s f'ing hummingbird. You were drunk on your azz. We called you a f'ing dumb azz after you dropped a hunk of cheese onto a pizza I was making. And we called you a wimp after listening to you whine about the weather. And, in spite of everything,we awarded you the Masstoberfest Cup! You must have special skills that regular folks aren't aware of.

 

[paulthenurse]

But I still sort of like you

In a totally brotherly sort of way.

A much younger brother

Just sayin'

 

[bob1852]

Hi Paul,

How's your night going?

 

[bob1852]

I like hummingbirds.

Are you calling her a LIAR? If she says someone called her a Hummingbird, someone called her a Hummingbird. Too bad she didn't bring the cup up here, I'd'a pissed in it. You Massholes got a lotta nerve messin with a yooper

 

[paulthenurse]

Hi Paul,



How's your night going?

Anybody who goes to grad school as an adult world be well advised to just shoot themselves and cut down on the suffering.

Same could be said for anyone who starts a brewery as an adult, right?

 

[Cape Brewing]

This is why we can't have nice things

You liked the way I handled that cheese. THAT'S why you insisted on my winning the cup.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Cape should be talking about his brewery, the one I missed while I was there.

Next time, I'm going to be sure to go to the Bog!

 

[ComcastWineRookie]

wow, they just successfully turned this thread into another obnoxious one in 2 pages.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Hey Mister. How's your hangover?

 

[max384]

Well... Sorry about mentioning work. It seems that was the inspiration for the latest derailment. My point was that I chose reading this thread over precious sleep.

I think that may have been me that called her a hummingbird, because she's hyper as **** and she NEVER SHUTS UP. But I say that with love.

Yeah, I'm sure you mean that in a good way.

Great thread. Fun to read, even more fun to day-dream afterwards. Thanks for sharing.

Have you considered any other ventures after this experience? Related or otherwise?

It is a good thread. My only regret is I don't know them, so I can't join the fray and throw in a fun barb without looking like a total ******

Well, in fairness, Cape is a total ******; so you'll fit right in.

It's overrated. Have you seen any of the broadcasted brew days?

 

[Snatchomcfly]

Hey Cape,

Just checked out your site. Great beer list. Noticed a spelling issue under Babalu....unless transderred is some sort of Boston thing.

 

[paulthenurse]

Pretty sure that BJCP guidelines call for two points off for spelling errors.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Getting TTB label approval is a sick joke

 

[motobrewer]

this is why boston can't have nice things.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Who's in Boston?
