I ended up at a Home Depot-ish kind of place instead (more boys!) but when I'd come home smelling like sawdust I always kind of wondered what could have been. <br /><br />I had that same urge to stay out of food service too when I was a kid.

So I guess it really is what you bring to a position that defines it (well usually!) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
