What a crazy day! Sort of. I had brunch this morning with my friends and there were two happy additions to the group today. First was Kyle who is almost never available to dine with us Friday mornings and then there was my Hebrew Friend's mother. Sometimes we see in her in the mornings but she has never joined us. It was nice to have the two new additions this morning. I also brought flowers to breakfast. Pink carnations, nothing too exciting. I bought the flowers because for one thing it adds something nice to the table early in the day and also because Cynthia has finished working at one of her jobs. I'm glad I brought the flowers because I found that more than just Cynthia enjoyed them. If I had known that they were appreciated I would have gotten a better bouquet, but there's something nice and simple about carnations especially when they are fully bloomed and look like big ruffled buttons.
The second crazy part of the morning was that I lost my keys. It sucks but I'm actually surprised that I hadn't lost them earlier in my time here in Philadelphia. I do stuff like that, but fortunately I didn't loose any important keys and the ones that I did I have back ups of until I can get a new set made. It also means that I have to get a new key chain, preferably a grosgrain ribbon one or one with little anchors on it. I'm also really appreciative to the nice Mexicans at Produce Junction who broke into my car for me so I could grab my spare and get to brunch in time.
First job was also crazy busy. We were handing out books for next semester to the students. I had to organize fifty bundles of business books for the students and make sure that they were all labeled appropriately. It would have been fine if I had known who got what and whether or not we were missing anything before I got the task underway. Thank god for P90X, it helped with lifting and moving all of the boxes and bags of text books all over the office.
Second job was perfect. I worked on a party all night with two other women and we successfully sold over $500 of alcohol to them. We just got a shipment of new wine in and we ended up selling all of the bottles in stock to the party. It was amazing how much money a father was willing to throw down for his daughter's rehearsal dinner. It was great that I made over $100 on one table, which is way more than I've made on a Friday night in months, but it sucked that I didn't get out past 11:30pm, long after the closers. I was going to go to the bar after work but when I sat down in my car I was so sweaty that all I wanted to do was take a shower and then once I got out of the shower I didn't want to leave my apartment. I was going to invite a friend over to watch movies, but since I'm so tired now and I have to be up at 7am for work it just wouldn't be fair to them to watch movies while I'm sleep/drool on the side of the sofa.
*The things that happen at work just slay me.
