When the time for me came to go to college, I thought I would no longer be surrounded by a military environment, however I found myself interacting with members of the ROTC instantly.

The Shortcomings of Bureaucracy The kitchen of a bustling restaurant is not the place for the faint of heart. The goings-on of a regular kitchen staff are stressful enough to make some workers take off their aprons and walk out the door, no concern for even their last check. These sweaty, fast-paced, profanity laden areas are quite contrast to the front of restaurants, where nicely dressed hosts stand smiling and pristine, waiting to seat you at a table where you will be treated like royalty.
