"In college, I worked at a coffee shop on campus. One day, the owner of the cafe's wife went into labor. They were finally having the baby. They called me to see if I could come in last minute to open up shop and get everything going. I was already on campus, woke up at 3 am, got dressed, and rushed down there. They had recently entrusted me with a key for this contingency. So I rose to the challenge, and supervised the staff, running a successful shift from sunup to 3 pm when we closed up shop. That was a hard day, but I couldn't complain. I was just happy for them that their baby was finally born."
