Isn't it funny though that you know you get through the

indignity of being a child the indignity of being a young teenager and you

become a slightly older teenager and there's just all this pressure to go out and

get a job you know and invariably you you get stuck in

the most undignified kind of work I wanted to get a job and I wanted the

undignified work really what did you want to do when you were in teenager I wanted to work in the stock room at Conrands. I wanted to go I wanted to be I wanted to be grown

up for the money you wanted to have a little extra dough of your own independence? I guess I just wanted to you know go and not go to school and do something else in a social environment where I would have a break room and

you know punch a card and grieve the greet the sheep dog as I went to work. Do you know what I mean? That was very satisfying to me

You probably had a great work ethic too. I would imagine I did. I was extremely well-liked. I had a dilemma. I was probably 1516.

I had been accepted full scholarship to Harvard.

Or I had been offered the position to head up the MFA program at the College of the Mall of America. You look nice today a journal of emotional hygiene. But I did have a dilemma because I had applied for two jobs and I took the job at the furniture store and I turned down the job selling sushi from a cart in Coppley Square.

Do you ever think about how your life would have been different?

I thought that would have been very glamorous.

Do you think your life would have been different?

If I had done the sushi thing?

Yeah. No, I don't think it would have been different.

I think you would have met some totally different group of people.

Don't you think?

You might have met, you might have met like an adventurous young lady.

Oh I would think anyone who would buy sushi from a cart in probably square.

I didn't say she was smart.

Adventurous that's true.
