High limit dealer at Harrah's Tahoe for 13 years. I'd been there so long I could do what I wanted, even get the weekends off where I had a food booth at the Renaissance Faire in Novato Ca. Of course, that sometimes entailed working overtime or 7 days, but the money and the tips were were worth it. . . Back in those days, $5.00/hour and tips did the job. :)
I really wanted to be a florist, though, and got into design. I still love the work, but it seems like grocery stores have taken over with their pre-made bouquets. There is something about going in for a real design at a florist's shop that makes it all worthwhile' It's different and one cannot explain the camaraderie that happens during holidays and weddings. . . and oh, the delightful smell of flowers all around! Love it!
I can understand your family member all too well. Sales would be fun, too, but I just have to do something creative with my hands!
Hot run today in the 90s. Have to take it easy cuz my knee is giving me trouble after not using it right in yoga. I'll mostly walk. Tomorrow should be nice and cloudy and back in the 70s. :)

I imagine small florist shops in small quaint towns...such a dreamy job to be a florist.
