Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host, Madeline. And I'm your co-host, Kenna.

Okay, Kenna, today, I wanted to start out by asking, have you ever worked food service?

Yes, I have. Not for very long, though.

When I was 14, I started my job, my career, if you will.

Your career, yes.

I started my career at 14.

It reads like a Dickens novel.

Working at the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park in Canyon City, Colorado, where I was outside making popcorn

and every once in a while making funnel cakes and cotton candy.

It was very fucking hot in the summertime outside. So I have worked food service when I was

very young. Fast forward many years later when I lived in Portland very briefly did some, I don't

know if you could call it waitressing or serving at the Pied Cow Coffee House.

Oh, I think, I have lots of friends when they moved to Portland.

They did bikini barista.

It's not like that.

It's like a cool old, like kind of gothicy, like Victorian house.

Cool.

And they just serve like coffee and, uh, kind of gothicy like Victorian house. Cool.

And they just serve like coffee and, uh, pastries and do hookah.

So it's like very charming. It's like very old, old Portland.

But I didn't last very long at that because I wasn't very good.

And I just, I needed extra money to be able to sell vintage clothing.
