I had really ambitious dreams when I was a kid…
I first wanted to be a gas-pumper. I figured, hey, women can do that too right? (That’s right, I had those nagging feminist thoughts at the ripe ol’ age of 5).
Then, I grew up a little, saw more of the world, and decided, naw, I wanna be a cashier at the dollar store… Easy peasy, right, everything cost a dollar, my only pre-requisite was being able to add 1 + 1 + 1 (’member, no tax when I was a kid!).
Alas, none of those panned out, and I sold out for the stability of the public service…
