Buried my feelings of resentment deep down inside while wearing a smile and consulting the vast reaches of humanity's beautiful spectrum on the attributes and history of Hatch chiles. After years of perpetuating my own misery, changed my attitude, questioning whether I had any say in my emotional well being, and distanced myself from the ubiquitous abuse of drugs and alcohol that weave the drab quilt of food service throughout America. I made great friends who will last a lifetime, and great money I will probably not make again as a therapist.
