Peel me a lobster

[susandennis]

The Summer after my second year of college, I worked for Eastern Airlines (and, yes, pinkfish, this was many years ago) in the corporate communications department. It was in Rockerfeller Plaza and I was such hot shit I could hardly stand myself. All grown up working with adults. Holey moley.

At Summer's end, my co-workers took me to lunch at the Rainbow room. I was so trying to be cool but I had no idea what to order... Then I spied 'Trout Almandine with.... etc... and peeled grapes."

When I was 20, the only thing more exciting than having a real (sub-minimum wage) job in a real corporation was dining in a famous restaurant with some dude was in the back peeling my grapes. The 60's were a bit confusing for me....

Having any guy doing that for you is still huge!! Peeling grapes, amazing. I spent a lot of the 60's in San Francisco, but not the hippies just lived close to the Haight. I think it is only confusing now. I knew it all then!! (Holy Moley and Manomanachevitz!!) Brings back memories. LOL.

Only the short term is giving me fits!!
