Real Feel

The day started off on the right foot. I had a good little laugh to myself on the bus when I saw a girl's nametag and her head was bobbing up and down because she was asleep. Yurika was from Japan. Now I am not sure exactly how she would say it but in my head I thought "Eureka". Like an "eureka" moment :) Those silly Japanese.

Today was an enjoyable day at work. The ice cream was not melted!!! It started out as hard as a rock but by noon it was nice and easy to scoop. And it stayed in its scoop shape and didn't run all over the cone. It was pretty slow and Pablo and I only had 50 transactions combined. It was so boring that while Pablo was on his break I practiced my dance moves in the kiosk. Today was a cha cha day. One. Two. Cha Cha Cha. Three. Four. Cha Cha Cha...I even got this spin move down that used to give me some trouble. And the best part about dancing in the kiosk is I can move my hips as rapidly and crazy as I like because no one can see waist down from the outside.

I had a first today as well. A woman came back to base and asked for the new black girl. In the past my friend Anyaa would automatically be pushed under the bus seeing as there were no other black girls. However in Florida there are a lot of black girls so it is hard to point the finger in the same way. It is kind of refreshing to not have friends get in trouble because racial profiling is so much harder here :)

On the way home from work Olivia needed to stop at Walmart to pick up pictures and seeing as I hate riding the bus I had to suck it up and go into Walmart with her. On our way out we stopped at the gas station. The Walmart gas station has TV's!!! I had never seen that before and they were nice flat screens...decent size and every pump had one. It was basically a run of commercials and a weather update. The weather update showed that it will get down to 43 degrees tonight :( brrr...The thing that cracked me up most was the Real Feel. They don't used wind chill here but there is wind and it was very windy today. Real Feel is the same thing as wind chill and about 10 times harder to say. Try it fast a few times...tongue twister. If you are like me it sounds like you are asking for a refill on your beverage.

On my way home I saw a sign for Gator jerky...only in Florida.
