I have a job! I have no clue why I am ecstatic about that, considering all my free time and homework/essay writing time will be taken up by said job, but hey, its money, and good money at that, so lemme get a woot woot! I will be working at an exotic, glamorous…sandwich shop! Exactly what I wanted time wise, no nights or weekends, something to do with food so I know I will get fed on the job, and no McDonald’s. Score. It is actually a cute little place and stays quite busy, which is nice. Nothing worse than sitting around doing nothing at work. But it’s tough. I may seem to have a hard exterior, but underneath it all, I am a little fluffy fragile kitten who gets stressed when she has to walk to the other side of the apartment to retrieve something, so we’ll see how this whole “working on my feet doing physical stuff” works out. But they are starting me right away, and paying me more than when I worked as a receptionist/office bitch for one of the top real estate management firms in Chicago. Take that, corporate America! And I am happy to report that my “lack of culinary skills” that another sandwich shop owner felt I had kicked major ass at my first day of work. So he can take his toasted foccacia chicken sammy, sit and spin. I am a sandwich artist. No autographs, please. ~LTG
