Title: Introducing....
Post by: George Jung on February 19, 2007, 06:57:30 PM: This web site is awesome! I am a young service industry professional. Most of the work I have done has been culinary related. I develop standardized recipes and train employees in commercial kitchen operations. Experiencing renal failure, mostly without notice, I am taking some time away from work but hoping to return sooner rather than later. I am doing HD 3 times a week right now so working seems a bit of a stretch. I am a single male (by choice), who loves the simple, pure moments, that life makes possible. I am adventurous and fairly well educated. I believe in taking chances, without them nothing would be possible. I like to debate and I hope to challenge some of you. Philosophy and psychology turn me on. Thanks for having me.

Welcome to IHD.

I too was a culinarian until I fell prey to PKD and ESRD. It's still a passion but only for my closest family and friends. I even went to one of those prestigious culinary schools. I feel like it was all a waste now.

Where did you go to school? Tell me more about what you did and what what you do now. I can appreciate how you feel, although I don't think anything we do is a waste of time. You just never really know for sure.
