how ya doin

To make my family happy I'm going to do a quick bloggie rundown before I head to work. Try to keep up. I have my second day of training today at "Fog City Diner". It's about a twenty minute walk on the water from Rach's restaurant and it took me three and half interviews to land the job. It's not really a diner- more of a restaurant disguised as a diner. I absolutely love it. I really wanted the job. I went through two and a half (halfs are my new thing I guess) days of training at rainforest cafe and on the third day (half way through) I decided I couldn't possibly be happy working there and I quit. I told them I had received another offer from a restaurant I thought would be a better fit. This was a lie, I was actually still in the process of interviews at Fog City but they were good interviews and I decided to take a leap of faith. I was in the air for several days, but my leap ended up working out just fine. Phew. I was beginning to think this luck of mine had taken a turn for the worst. The trainer I was with yesterday was on the floor starting at 11 and got cut at 2:00. She made $120 and never had no move faster than a snails pace. It seems so far that this job is going to be amazing. We actually haven't been falling in love with San Francisco like people had been promising but I think a large part of that is owed to the stress of job hunting. Now that we've both landing jobs we love and are promised very good money, it will hopefully become easier to relax and live and enjoy S.F. We've both become extremely homesick for New York while we've been here. We've even admitted to missing Boston for some reason. We miss Boston. Thats how much we like S.F so far. Try explaining that one. I think also a big part of it is that we're not in as adventurous of a mind-set anymore. We're getting settle down antsy and you look at places different when you're debating making your nest rather than just playing in the leaves for a little while. But thinks are surely looking up. We went to an Oakland A's and Yankees game the other day, obviously in Oakland, with Linda, Julia and a bunch of others. It was an absolute blast and the Yankees won. Seeing the Yankees though definitely confirmed that Rach and I are New Yorkers. It's in our blood and in our hearts. If we stay here it will only be for a few years, for school probably, but it's becoming very clear to us that the final home will be in New York. It's our home at datz just da way its gonna be! -lj
