???????????????????????????? Which part isn't clear? It's a mystery to me... Maybe that I'm bugging you with my view of corporate restaurants. I hope not,though. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this. I've hardly been online at all, and forgot about this thread. tan, you're not bugging me at all. Or were'nt, anyway. It just seemed to me, that Hobbes was unhappy about not working, and paying bills, and that a job was needed. The restaurants he preferred kept telling him he needed more experience, and without working SOMEWHERE it's a catch 22. Corporate or no, he needed to work someplace for this experience. And at the very least, everyone knows you'll work your ass off even in a setting like... well, wherever. And better restaurants like to know you've worked your ass off and are begging for more. Hobbes, congratulations on your job! I hope you're enjoying it. How is it going? Is it everything you wanted? Kate, don't you love apologies in the walk in?
