From corner office to sweeping floors in Starbucks

Having had the job of mopping the floor at Burger King for a few months, I can't honestly say that mopping floor is the most satisfying job, but his man's new outlook on life does resonate with me. :)

Probably can't give up my corporate job anytime soon, but I totally LOVE a story like this!

---------------------------------
CNN reported a segment this morning on Michael Gates Gill, a former ad exec and self-described "Master of the Universe," who lost his job and is now working at a Starbucks in New York. Life, according to Gill, couldn't be more blissful. Once married to his career, he now enjoys the easy banter with customers while sweeping floors and re-filling the milk.
Life is what you make of it, is Gill's lesson, and it will soon be coming to theaters in a movie being developed by Good Will Hunting and Milk director, Gus Van Sant. Tom Hanks is said to star. The movie will be based on Gill's memoir, How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else. As my French friend, who's currently in New York, said after watching Gill on CNN, "Only in America, that's what makes this country so great."
