This was job hunt day. I walked to the “FedEx Office” printed off 20 copies of my resume, bought a binder so I didn’t have to carry 20 pieces of loose paper and started my trek to Hell’s Kitchen because I hear they have a lot of bars that would hire.
I find a bar that tells me Dave of “Dave’s Tavern” on 42nd street might be able to help me out seeing as he owns three bars in the area. Well Dave is a long haired blue collar guy who smokes in his bar because well…it’s his bar. He tells me that for insurance purposes I need to have a security license to bounce.
This security license thing is really starting to piss me off at this point but luckily Dave points me in the direction of a place that does certification. After walking around for about an hour trying to find this place I find that for one eight hour course and 25 bucks I can get what the security companies wanted to charge me 80 dollars to get.
Long story less long I should have a security license by Monday and hopefully a job by Wednesday. I am really surprised at how high my walking tolerance is becoming. I am also surprised at how close to Time Square I am and how time square and Chelsea feel like two different worlds. Oddly enough the edge of Hell’s Kitchen is a block away from the edge of Times Square and once again they feel like two entirely different cities.
Add that to the list of reasons I love this place. Tomorrow is sun, fun, beach and the further discovery of my independence.
