My Dream Job?

As of yesterday afternoon, I have accepted a position as a wine rep for a relatively small distributor based out of Charleston, SC. Within 3 months we will be adding beers to the lineup, predominantly microbrews and high gravity beers. Within the year, we should be adding liquors as well. I'll still keep my night job at The Village Idiot here in Columbia, but will probably cut my hours back significantly to make room for a "real" job selling booze. I'm beginning to think I'm living a charmed life. Now if only Clemson can clinch the ACC title this year, or at least beat USC, I'll be a happy man.

Speaking of Clemson vs. USC, my roommate (who is a graduate of USC) and myself (a graduate of Clemson) have a bet going - whoever wins the big game gets to fly that flag from our porch for the rest of the year.

Anyway, I start full time this Monday, and am genuinely excited about it. I had been threatening to quit working and attempt to get into law school, but for now I'll just be a booze pusher. More details as I know them, but for now...

JT out.

There is something of a delicious irony that a PBR fan like yourself is going to be pushing decent wines and microbrews. :^)

I've got a friend of church also in the hooch business--he's a broker of fuel ethanol, so I call him "Snuffy Smith" when he lets me get away with it.

Isn't there? I may need to keep my personal tastes to myself...
