Kellie Irene Flynn - How to Be a Successful Bartender

Kellie Irene Flynn is an individual who is known for looking ahead to the success of her professional future. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Northern California, as well as an Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene from Petaluma Community College. She initially planned to use her degree in philosophy to attend law school, but she decided that a career in the dental care field was more suited to her passions. She currently works as a dental hygienist for the practice operating in Las Vegas, Nevada called Downtown Family Dental Partners.

Kellie Irene Flynn has worked a number of positions through out her adult life. Although she is now happily serving as a dental hygienist for Downtown Family Dental Partners, she used to make money as a waitress and bartender in order to support herself while she developed her career. Here are some tips for being a successful bartender.

The first thing you want to be able to do in order to be a successful bartender is to be polite. Bartenders rely mostly on their ability to get tips from customers, so being polite will certainly help in that regard. In the same way, make sure you can read a person when they want to chat or want to be left alone. This will also increase your chances of getting tips.

In addition to being polite, make sure you know your bartender terminology. A lot of bartenders mistake certain terms all the time, which can ruin a person’s drink. Know your ingredients, know how to mix a drink, and understand the difference between neat and up for example.

Kellie Irene Flynn - TV Alternatives

Kellie Irene Flynn says that she and her husband recently bought an expensive new high definition TV, and a subscription to Netflix. She watches a lot of documentary films, but the one thing she does not watch is was is sometimes referred to as regular TV.

“I like what Groucho Marx once said about TV,” she said. “He said he found TV very educational, because every time someone turned it on, he went into another room to read a book.” She disagrees with those who say that a little TV doesn’t hurt anything. For one thing, she says there is no disagreement about what constitutes “a little TV.” According to one report, the average American watches more than thirty-four hours of TV every week.

“That’s a lot of TV,” she says. “Or to put it another way, that’s a lot of time you could spend with your family and friends, or doing something constructive. And make no mistake, watching TV is not constructive; it’s one of the most voluntarily passive things that we can do.” A former advertising executive named Jerry Mander saw this long ago, and wrote a seminal book called Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television.

Mander wrote that many of the problems with TV are inherent in the technology – that is, they are part and parcel to television itself. The effects of TV on human bodies and minds, what Mander called “the ingestion of artificial light,” are intrinsic to TV, and consequently the medium cannot be reformed.

Kellie Irene Flynn admits that since she likes to stream movies and watch DVDs, she is not completely free of the influence of television. And so she is not a vocal detractor of the medium. But she does everything she can to discourage excessive TV watching by her friends and family.
