I got another job today

So I know I'm supposed to post like every Monday Wednesday and Friday. I know this. I made up the rule, so I know the rule. I'm really sorry people. I am aware of the fact that it's 3:14 (2:14 for you crazy Mountain time people.) on Saturday morning, but since I haven't gone to bed yet I'm gonna count this as Friday. I was gonna just wait to post until Saturday, but now at 3:15 in the morning my creative juices are flowing like the mighty Mississippi river, in which I could be swimming in around 10 minutes if I really wanted to. I don't really want to because there's mad pollution up in that water. Nasty.

Anyway, today after work I rode my bike across South Carrolton to La Macarena Pupuseria and slotted up there and put my thing down. On Tuesday I went in there and put my thing down and the dude who was working gave me a job application. I filled out that job application. Today the owner was in there and he was all kinds of stoked to see me. I gave him my app and then he conducted an interview like crazy right there on the spot. It was the gnarliest interview ever. We kind of just talked. It was wild. He gave me "a very unusual mixture of papaya tea and blackberry tea," to drink and it was incredibly good. We talked for a while and he made me ask him three questions that I wouldn't normally ask my boss. I asked what his favorite alcoholic drink was, when was the first time he got high, and how many times he changed his major in college.

He seemed to like me, because he had the cook whip me up a pupusa so I could taste what I'd be serving. A pupusa is a tortilla like thing from El Salvador filled with queso, frijoles fritos, o chicharrones, or some combination of them, or other stuff entirely. It was the best thing I've ever tasted in my whole life. I was instantly willing to take this job because I'd get a free pupusa every shift. Then after he asked me if I had any problems with gay people (he's gay) and if I was a football fan (apparently some Saints fans would skip work to watch the games) he told me to come in on Monday for training.

So on Monday I'll be slingin' pupusas. I'll see how it works out, but from the little I've seen it should be a sweet gig and a good way to get a little spanish practice in (the cooks and owners are from El Salvador). ¡Muy bien!
