My dad has spent most of his life working in grocery stores. When I was born, he was an assistant store manager, and he slowly moved up to store manager, district department manager, district store manager, regional manager and now to some top-tier executive position within the company. My whole childhood he was stressed out beyond belief and just an angry, angry man. But with the position he has now, he says it's a tenth of the stress he had and twice the pay. So, if you're lucky and keep climbing, you might one day actually get to a rung on that ladder that isn't so bad.

And FWIW, I was in the First in Line program in college but gave it up for journalism when I graduated college. Sometimes I look back and still kind of miss that satisfaction I got from seeing a customer who was completely wrong go apeshit or the joy of catching a scummy family using their children to shoplift.

I'm a writer and editor, so when I read things I pick them apart differently and marvel at little things most people would never notice nor appreciate.

As someone who is so tuned in to song writing, what are some parts of famous songs that you are blown away by that maybe the average listener would never notice or appreciate? Is there someone out there who is really doing something special, whether it's working in difficult key changes or working up new progressions, that it takes a special ear to catch and really appreciate?
