Z: it was self-deprication.
I suspected as much, but I could not remember...and I left off one job that may be more reviled than lawyer.

Pepsi uh huh girl
Please explain!
Remember "you got the right one baby, uh huh" sung by Ray Charles - it was a Pepsi commercial around 1990. Well Pepsi would hire two college girls to dress up in a black miniskirt outfit and go to bars with this big cardboard cutout of Ray Charles. We would do the Pepsi challenge and if they picked Pepsi, they got a Polaroid pic with Cardboard Charles and one of the uh huh girls.
And you guys think your marketing departments have weird ideas!!!

Now we now for sure that all fast food workers are bankers in training. These restaurants are now exposed as the Farm Teams for the banking industry.

Before banking (now 26 years, all compliance) I was an RN for 11 years. Worked in Psychiatry (this really prepared me for Banking), ICU, ER, L & D, Nursery & Peds. Enjoyed it but burned out. There was less stress in banking until about five years ago.
