Final Paper - Courtney

For my final paper I want to analyze the job of Party Catalysts. Some of you may have heard the episode of This American Life called Plan B, in which the first act is called "It's Another Tequila Sunrise". The following 19 minutes are spent telling the story of Cuervo Man - who was hired by Jose Cuervo to go to bars and basically just have a good time, get drunk and get people to drink tequila. I was interested in this because when most people go out to a bar it is to relax once we are "off the clock" or done with our tasks for the day/week. Partying and drinking is a leisure activity which is done in our off time, but what if it was your job specifically to party? Work and play are completely intertwined in this position. The drunker you get, the happier your bosses are and the more they want you to work.
