Oh look, there's Caroline and a boyfriend. She's always going on about him at the office. Great, they saw us. They come in this way. Oh man. Jessica, Arthur, hi! I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Greg. He's the VP of Quality and Safety for a top fortune 500 food company. Nice to meet you. This is my husband Arthur. Hey, how's it going? Hello? Caroline talks about you all the time. I guess he must be pretty busy at work. Well, yeah, VP position is not easy to know. I implement policies and procedures nationwide in various departments, as well as trained junior managers and FDA and EPA regulations. I also have to oversee daily operations of our quality control for the entire East Coast. That alone means I have 1,500 employees under me. Wow, yeah, that sounds exciting. And what about you, Arthur? What do you do for a living? Oh, I'm a top gun pilot. I'm a top gun pilot.
