An evening at the concession stand

April 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’m sooooooo tired.  Got home from work about 5:00pm yesterday, headed straight to the Elko Little League baseball fields.  We had snack bar duty so we were there until 9:30, flipping burgers, frying fries, cheesing nachos.  Despite the long hours and the backache I get a kick out of my time at the snack bar.    It’s mentally therapeutic for me for some reason.  I guess it’s due to years of “brainy” work, so now I can enjoy and appreciate a (relatively) mindless job (no offense to the burger-flippers out there).  I could definitely see myself running a greasy-spoon type restaurant in my later years.  I think it would be a lot of fun.  Maybe I’ll call it “Steve’s Diner.”  That has a nice ring to it.  The wife and kids can work there for free, Cooper and Ollie can be the mascots, I think I have this all figured out.  Now to get started on that whole “become independently wealthy” thing…
