SINCE YOU ASKED: “Do you do this full time?”
Bartending for ten years in New York taught me people don’t think work is work. People think money is work.
There’s a simple test to see if someone has work or not-work. Go to any meal with friends or family (extra points if you do this in front of immigrant parents). When the inevitable “what’s up with work” talk starts, pay attention to what’s said. If the talk is about titles, promotions, or how Mindy from HR is being a total bitch again - there’s money and therefore it’s work. If the talk is about tasks: stocked the shelves, made drinks, closed then opened again aka the “clopen” - there’s no money and therefore it’s not-work.
