SUCCESS!

Today around 12 noon, I accepted an offer from Brewmaster Don Spencer at Silver City Brewery and Restaurant in Silverdale for a part-time position in the brewery! After I got off the phone, I was in a state of shock. Sara, my wife, said, "you did it! You're a brewer!" That's when I lost it.

The plan is to get me trained in 30 days or less then move me to full time. I am confident that it will be fewer than 30 days before I am a full-time employee. I seem to absorb information like a sponge when I am loving what I am doing. And honestly, I can't think of something that I would rather be doing to earn my living.

I start June 1st at (gasp!) 6am. I will be cleaning the serving lines in the restaurant first, then learning the bottling line for the rest of the day. Two very valuable skills to have in a brewery and pub! I'll be there Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Once I move to full-time, I'll be working through the weekend. In a few months, whenever you see a Silver City beer in a bottle, you'll know it was me who put it there.

This is such a relief and honestly a lot faster than I had expected things to move. This is just the beginning of my career, but a great step in the direction I wanted to go. I will be doing what I am passionate about for a living. That is what I have always wanted.

Now I have to find comfortable galoshes....

Cheers!
