Favourite Quote?
You can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. And the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. Your life is your life. Know it while you have it. - Charles Bukowski
Favourite book?
The Odyssey, by Homer. What a ripper.
What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from it?
I was a 'beverage cart girl' at a golf club (i.e. a mobile bartender in a golf cart). It was as fun as it sounds. I had a lot of ground to cover, so I learned a lot about expectation management (and how to hook around turns).
What would be your alternative career?
Professional athlete (soccer or volleyball) - I still haven't given up the dream yet.
