my...Life behind Bars
by Jeff Echterling
The 20 year struggle of a bipolar bartender in Chicago You’ve been to restaurants. You’ve sat, you’ve eaten, you’ve had a good time. Have you ever really thought about the people that bring you your food, the people that make your drinks, the people that do this kind of work everyday? Have they had a good day a bad day, is their life treating them well, did they do something to my food? Don’t worry that almost never happens, but what kind of people are they really? The real people in the business deal with all kinds of people at all levels of tolerance and understanding. It’s hard sometimes to not just hate everyone. To do this kind of work it takes a certain kind of person and that kind of person generally knows how to blow off steam. They know how to not take things too seriously, they know how to have fun, they joke and play with their coworkers, they are a rare breed. Not unlike anyone else that has worked in a restaurant, nightclub, or bar, I’ve seen and experienced some really crazy shit. This business can drop you into a lifestyle like no other. Add obvious, but untreated and undiagnosed bipolar disorder and the lifestyle is amplified. Those in the medical field can probably relate to the long hours, lack of sleep and just plain bizarre events, but at the end of the day they can always say they were trying to help. We see people at their worst and help them get there. Then, all too often, go there ourselves. Check out My life Behind bars.
