Early Career Stories?

May 21 is National Wait Staff Day and I find a lot in common with this group of employees as I worked for eleven years in the hospitality industry waiting tables, tending bar, hostessing dining rooms, and even prep cooking. It's a hard road but financially rewarding in a fine dining establishment. At the time, the job paid better than my teaching assignment and allowed me to hang out in Hawaii for three weeks. I'll bet you have interesting early career stories, too. Share your early career stories in comments.
