I love sleeping. It's like my favorite thing to do. Having to get up early for work totally sucks. Except that when I leave in the afternoon, it's freaking awesome to know I've earned some money, eaten a meal for free, done some homework, and still have the rest of the day to do stuff.
We have like five piles of clothes on the floor because we're trying to go through everything and get rid of the old stuff that doesn't fit and can't be donated. I made Alex throw out all but two of the catalogs she got advertising stuff to buy for Christmas.
Work is kind of fun, except for the grownup sleazy men. Nobody treats me like a kid. Nobody talks down to me. I get to be in charge of things. I get to play with lots of money. The owner is really nice. The waitresses are funny, even when they're in bad moods. I'm going to get fat from having a hot chocolate or two or five every time I work but that's okay.
Sometimes when people come up to pay their check they talk to me about my homework or when they were in school. Did you know in the olden days you could go to a CUNY school for less than $200? A whole bachelor's degree.
You know what I noticed? It's only the sleazy guys who tell me to stay in school and not get married and knocked up. The nicer ones just talk to me about college like it's a given that I'm going.
You know what else is good about working? They put a platter of cookies on the counter near the register for people during the dinner rush. When I work at night, I get to take home the extras!
