So I was outside, sitting on the steps behind the apartment I am subletting for less than two months, when I heard some rustling. Being the people-fearing person that I am, I straightened up and attempted to see who was coming. It was a big puff-ball of a raccoon, who proceeded to cross behind the building next to mine, and walk right up to me.

the joie! raccoons! subletting! how is the sublet? how is life? escaped from plymouth? huzzah!

i'm coming home at the end of august, beginning of september. we shall hang out?

The sublet is fine for now. I have a huge room, but it is curtained off from the kitchen as it used to be the living room. My roomies are very nice, but the bonding will not happen because, a) I move out in a month or so, and b)they are a couple. I actually just returned from Plymouth, which is much more pleasant when visiting. And of course we shall hang out, I'd been meaning to ask when/if you were returning to our fair land of the northeast.

Oh, and you were so right about hospitality work. I hyperventilated during my shift two Sundays ago. They sent me home. I got all depressed and felt sick the next day, so, although I called in, and came in anyway, I came in late, and got a warning. Now if I'm late again, I will probably be fired. Fun. So yes, crying in the kitchen for Joie, but it is getting better. I'm not sure if this is the job for me in the long run, but I shall stick it out for a while and see.

Hoping you are having the fun with the David I still have not met!

if you can stick it out for a few weeks, you'll get into a groove and then you'll be able to feed off of how well you can move between tables and toss the lingo and all that, which is reassuring when bad stuff happens. and the thing to remember--you'll probably never see any of these people again, so even if they get pissed at you, flash them your best smile and go hide until they leave.

do you have a cell #?

[mlle_joie]

sorry for the long delay. I was trying to remember your e-mail address or phone number, as I do not want to post my phone number on lj. Perhaps I will prod Joface foryour number. I have free long distance within the US. Your phone still expensive?
