I think I'll try that myself, Eden. I worked for a pizza place for a year. I quickly became the designated "dough boy" because of how beautifully my batches turned out. I put a combination of precision and TLC into my dough. I look forward to making it again, though I don't think it will be 20 lbs. at a time anymore.
[I subsequently became known as "pasta boy" in my next job as a prep cook. This is because of my penchant for whipping up a hellstorm's worth of pasta to ensure that we never ran out, all the while abiding by the kitchen's shelf life limitations.]
