Today was my first day at work. Morris and I left at the same time in the morning and walked to the subway together. I went to the school to meet with Emmett first, but his teacher needed him in class at that time so we will have to figure out another schedule that will work. I got to work with him for only about 20 minutes, but he seemed to be grasping the concept and listening really well so that was encouraging. I am looking forward to continuing our lessons.
After that I made my way towards work, stopping by Macy's to buy some new boots. Definitely spent more than I normally would've or even should've but something about employment made me feel like it was okay. Then I ate some incredibly overpriced and mediocre food in the "restaurant" in the Macy's cellar.
I had a great first night at work. I really loved the girl I worked with. Her name is Rochelle; she is young, super sweet, Dominican (like Morris), and wants to be a doctor. She is fairly new as well and it was fun chatting with her, I felt like I had a new friend instantly. She's the girl that hugs when she says goodbye and I love it. Also, I am pretty hard up for female friends so it was just nice to giggle. There was an event at work that night and the restaurant was closed for a private party, so I spent quite a bit of time in the coat closet checking coats with our Ecuadorian busboy and when I tried making a joke about us being stuck on the closet all night he one-upped me and with the best head shake and snap combo I have ever seen and said "Girrrrrl, I don't know about you but I've been out of the closet for a long time now." Then we talked about boys and more giggling ensued so it was a fun time. Plus, as an AZ girl, I didn't anticipate tips from coat check, but some men in suits are stupid enough to give you 5 bucks to hang up their jacket. I mean shit, I do that at home for free.
After work, Morris and I walked to Crave, restaurant I had been dying to try since I arrived because the menu looks like something out of a stoner's dream. This place is Munchie Heaven and I had the Last Call Crave Bowl with fries, chili, jalapenos, bacon, cheese, and a lot of other calorie-laden deliciousness.
My handsome man!
