Bartender...
Trying to teach high school English in Austin, but have been losing faith in humanity recently... makes aspiring to be a teacher a bit more difficult...
- does not affect being a bartender

Hmmmmm, it's a rough economy not your fault.
There really aren't many teacher openings generally, Idk if that's different in your community but you should be looking into that. It's very hard to get hired as a teacher, I know that from the NYT and articles and personally fellow aspiring teachers.
It should make your bartending a little different......*chugs rum*

I'm a light commercial plumber with certs for medical gas installation and cross connection prevention.
I'm also in the process of my first novel being published.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

That's pretty cool, Jabber. A friend of mine just took a bartending class. I never knew how good a sombrero and sex on the beach could be.
Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Certainly hammy. I'll post a synopsis tomorrow after work. I'm currently just perusing on my phone so it would take forever.

Sorry for the delay. Life comes at ya fast and all that.
Anyhow here's a VERY brief and bare bones synopsis of my novel.
A renowned and semi megalomaniacal archaeologist discovers the mystery behind a south american cultures abrupt disappearance is a one way portal through time. Disenchanted with the current state of his life and the world scene he decides to see where the portal takes him. He ends up in a distant Utopian future where mankind has achieved near immortality through nano technology. After being infused with nano tech he becomes restless in this era because there is no way for him to advance inside of this society. He discovers that scientists have mapped all the "filaments" as the time portals have been named and he uses one to return to an era close to the one he left. Upon his return he begins a meteoric rise to domination because of his near immortality and partial foreknowledge of some events.
From there the story follows a resistance intent on destroying the despot, however in order to do so they have to find a way to prevent the technologies protecting the ruler from ever coming into existence.
I'm not going to get into the insane amount of causality and branching timelines that are a major part of the plot, it would take forever. Hopefully for sci fi fans it sounds sort of interesting. It's my first effort and I'm excited to see it starting to go somewhere.
