My name is Bob. I work at McDonald's and have been working here for the past 13 years. I started out like every other kid looking for a part time job, and after two years I was asked to be the manager. Im kind of "the man".
This probably isn't what people would call a typical dream job, but it's the best job I can dream of. Going to work every day puts a smile on my face. I have great friends and coworkers--all people who depend on my hard work and guidance for the success of our location.
I love the smile on the kids faces who come in to order their happy meal. I feel like I am making their day, and hopefully changing their lives for the better.
I also enjoy the regulars who come in. I know that Jerry from around the corner wants a #6 with a coke, and I know Sally and Joe, who have been married for 37 years, will be in every Tuesday morning to order their breakfast buscuits and large coffees.
I think its the irreplaceable connections with every day people that I love most about this job. Although I am not driving the most expensive sports car, or taking trips to private beaches for my vacations, I am doing alright. I think I have an idea of what's important in life, and I wouldn't give it up for the world.
I guess it's what they mean when they say: "One mans trash is another mans treasure."
