Scouted

I was at work this morning and I wasn't in a definite position, I was sort of all over the place because we were very busy, so I was bouncing back and forth between drive thru, kitchen and service.
So this one lady comes in and I recognize her as the bouncer from this one bar I went to downtown (yeah, this older lady is the bouncer! Wicked.) and I noticed her but I went about my business.
A few minutes later Sean says to me, "That lady just asked what your name was and I think she was giving you a dirty look." And I thought, well, that's weird and rude.

Later that day, after shopping for prom dresses with my mom (which is a whooole other story), I get this call on my cellphone from a number I don't recognize. So I answer it and the lady says, "Hi, is this Jessica? My name is Mrs. C, I own blahblah bar downtown and I came into McDonalds this morning." and I'm like thinking to myself, uhhh, she gives me dirty looks and is now calling me.. on my cellphone.. and I didn't give her my number.
So I politely say, "Oh yes, hi, how are you?" and then she asks me how old I am. And at this point I'm thinking she noticed me from last month when I went there and got in with my under-age boyfriend. Oops.
So nervously I'm like "Well, I'm 19" and she goes,

"I was just calling to see if you would like a bartending job at my bar"

... ... .. ..

That happens in real life!? Like, how weird is that? Apparently she also hired Matt who used to work at McDonalds with me and he gave her my number after she asked him.

Long story short, I have a meeting with her tomorrow to talk further about the job and such. But uh, I guess I can almost officially call myself a bartender.

lol
