By Mik Deitz| startmenu@ Entering the bar feels impossible, despite it not having changed in the many years that have passed. Maybe that’s the problem, actually, that nothing has changed in this backwoods hamlet except me. My burdens jingle in my pocket as I exit my car and walk toward the bar, inside of which two of my childhood friends wait for my arrival, or — judging from the name they call me, or the name of my contact in their phones — the arrival of someone they used to know.

By Mik Deitz| Paste Verified At the restaurant where I worked every summer for five years, everyone who wasn’t management hated pay day. There was no joy in ripping open an intricately sealed check only to discover that, after taxes, your labor was worth zero dollars and zero cents. We made our money through tips, meaning everyone jostled for more tables and larger parties than they could handle in an effort to at least reach minimum wage. Sometimes we walked out with stacks of cash; most times we barely broke even.
