As CEO I am a housekeeper, chef, chauffeur, nurse, event planner, accountant, referee, counselor, and teacher. I consider myself to hold a Masters degree in mysterious stain removal. I have an incredibly strong stomach and an unbelievable ability to bite my tongue. I can magically fix just about anything with a glue gun, safety pin, Band-Aid, sticker, lollipop or kiss. I am flexible enough to fit into tight spaces to pick up random objects. I possess eyes in the back of my head. I have six pairs of hands that clean the same areas over and over and over again. I have cat-like reflexes with the ability to catch a falling human at any given moment. I am an extremely loving and selfless team player with a lifetime commitment to work for demanding bosses. With a never-ending "to do" list and endless places to be, I have extremely strong organizational skills with a double-dose of creativity. I work one-handed while juggling. I foresee meltdowns in a chaotic workplace and face them head-on. I am on-call 24/7 even while on "vacation". I exist on little to no sleep, but will awaken instantly if there is an emergency in the workplace. Oh, and I have the patience of a saint.

As a bartender, I provide psychotherapy services on multiple levels. I fill insecurities and loneliness with medicinal and seemingly magical liquid potions. I listen and offer up advice on any number of personal and worldly issues. I make no judgments. I self-disclose appropriately to provide a strong sense of security. I spend time sympathizing, empathizing, encouraging and inspiring. Additionally, I serve comfort foods, by request, promptly and accurately with a positive attitude and smile. Not only do I introduce people to new food and beverages, but to one another. Occasionally, I am driven to tell a few short stories, allegories or antics to lighten moods and increase sales. I ensure that consumers do not consume too much and are guided home safely. I encourage patrons to become return customers through excellent service.
