unexpected advantages to working at the brewery.

We all know I work at a brewery. People on my Facebook regularly get mad at me because I post things that it is impossible for most to experience. For instance, I was drinking our apricot summer blonde straight out of the tank even before kegging two days ago. Damn that was nice. But there are even more subtle advantages that I never even thought of such as-

You can come in smelling of booze and no one cares. Let's face it, beer work is messy. If you don't smell of beer and stank at the end of the day, you're probably doing it wrong.

Along those lines, its actually a great place to nurse a hangover. At least where we are, there is a lot of dark little recesses to work In. There's also plenty of quieter space, and menial tasks to do. Not to mention the water. If you've never had brewery water, get you some. Its undoubtedly the coldest, cleanest water you can get. Gotta love quality control.

Then there's the people. They just get it. The hardest workers are often the hardest parties, so it is not uncommon to see our Monday meeting full of peoplr nursing hangovers. As a result, there is an endless supply of advil, snacks, and we have hangover water in our fridge. Not just regular water, water specifically for hangovers. Is called res-q or something. Don't know where it came from, but we have it.

And of course, there's the hair of the dog. Now I don't know about you, but if I spend a night pounding grain belt, I probably don't want more.the next morning. I will however, be agreeable to a drink, and damned if I don't have an unlimited supply 15 feet from me.

Have I mentioned that I hate you?

Trade?

I didn't know you worked at a brewery.

Bastard.

I do! It's honestly more of a hobby. The pay is terrible, but the beer is free and I get a ton of exercise and to hang out with good people. And it doesn't interfere with my full time sleeping job, so there is that.

It should be your goal to mesh enough small jobs to be paid 24/7.

If i got paid to sleep, that would only leave like... 20 hours a week unpaid.

I already work something like 80 hours a week. Granted I'm asleep for almost 40 of them, but still. I don't think I actually need to work more. Otherwise when would I have time to put a veyron wing on my corolla?

I didn't say work 24/7, but get paid 24/7.

Find a way to get paid to put a veyron wing on the rolla.

How is this a job? I mean it sounds too fun to be considered "work"

Keep in mind, I barely make a liveable wage between the two..... But hey, simple work and simple living seem to be adding years to my life.

Easy, sell the plans to APC, and send it to stancetards.
