I’ve been in restaurants/bars forever. Currently co-own a small cafe, but my husband does the day to day as I’m home with the smalls.
I keep hoping that, one day, I’ll figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I fear I already know, but it’s too unattainable.

My profile isn't an exaggeration:
International correspondence
Customer service
Receptionist/tech secretary for a network cable company
Reception/processing > assistant site coordinator > site coordinator for adult ed
Board liaison for a nonprofit health org.
There's more. Didn't fit.
