    “ Ironically, when you work in a restaurant, you eat a lot of room-temperature food. You eat a lot of food standing up. You learn how to eat very fast. You're always the first one done eating at the table, clearing away the dishes before anybody else is done eating. Everybody gets really annoyed with you.” – Francine L Shaw
