I often joke that I'm getting older and the people I work with are perpetually 23. What I mean , of course, is that my working life has been spent for a very long time in the company of servers.
They are a fascinating breed of people. Sometimes I think their collective noun would be "whine": a herd of cows, a school of fish, a whine of servers. I was one of these people so I know of what I speak :) The most remarkable thing about them, tho, is that by and large they're working as servers to fund some other passion. I have seen kids become teachers, performers, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers. Many find their passion in being terrific moms and dads.
Last night I had the privilege of attending an art opening for one of my current servers. Lara is a gifted photographer and she had a show at the James St. Art Crawl. It was wonderful. I'm always so proud that I get to play a (small) part in helping these kids pursue what they love.
On a side note... if you haven't been to the James St. Art Crawl, it happens every second Friday and it's awesome. G'wan down there :)
