Midnight rain

Jaiden Dean Swanson

Hello, my name is Jaiden Dean Swanson. I am 18 years old and I have just completed my senior year of high school. I'm around 5' 8" which is tall for a woman. I have shoulder length brown hair and hazel-blue eyes. I get strange looks with all my piercings and tattoos but it's my body. My parents have encouraged me to express myself and I feel the best ways is by tattoos and piercings. I have 11 piercings and 7 tattoos. I have your typical tramp stamp and my upper back is my zodiac sign Taurus. I have a few of my favorite childhood movie the nightmare before Christmas. and my very first one of a heart with wings on my stomach. I have 8 piercings in my ears, bellybutton, nose and lower right side of my lip. I live in the suburbs of California.

I still live at home with my parents, but they made the pool house into an apartment for me as a graduation gift. I am currently looking for a job. The want adds for the summer look promising. I mark a few to send in my application. One of the jobs that caught my eye was for a bartender at club called Deja Vu. Making note that it would be the better paying job out of all of them, I decided to call them in the morning. For now I'm going to finish setting up my room, take a shower and go to bed it's been a long day.

The next day I call Deja Vu and they tell me to come in later that day for an interview. I'm nervous I've always hated job interviews. I have anxiety and that was a key factor into why I chose psychology for my studies. So right now, my anxiety is pretty high. I dress in a nice light blue top and in a nice pair of jeans capris. I leave my hair down. shaving the back of your head is nice during the summer but not that professional looking. I put on some eyeliner and lip gloss and grab my purse and keys and head out the door.

It takes 20 minutes to arrive at Deja Vu. this part of town is definitely different during the day. I see all the night clubs without their lights and can't help to think how much different it is than at night. Quieter and less frantic feeling without the hustle and bustle of people waiting to get in. I have been to a few clubs before, but this will be the first time in Deja Vu. Deja Vu is not your regular night club. It's and adult night club with exotic dancers and a couple bars.

As I walked in, I looked around and was surprised to see it was actually nicer looking inside than what I thought. there were tastefully decorative walls with purple and red silk ribbons draped around. There was tables around table clothes that were either purple or red with candles in the middle of them. As I walked to the bar to ask for the one in charge of interviews, Mr. Johnson, I was directed to the back room.

Mr. Johnson was an average looking man in his mid 40s. As I walked in, he greeted me and pointed to a chair in front of his desk. He began, Miss Swanson thank you for being able to come in so soon. Thank you Mr. Johnson, please call me Jaiden. Mr. Johnson began his interview questions. Have you ever worked as a bartender before? What's your knowledge of drinks? How are you at being around drunk people? Jaiden answered the questions honestly. I have not worked as a bartender in a professional setting but I do know a few drinks. I am a fast learner and am willing to work. Mr. Johnson smiled at Jaiden and asked when can you start. Jaiden smiled back and shook his has saying as soon as you need me to. Jaiden left with a new sence of satisfaction.
