Last night I went to greet Courtney, who's been in Mexico for a week. I went for a few reasons. One, I knew she'd be tired. Two, I missed her face ferociously, and three, I knew she'd be hungry AND tired. It was raining so I threw in my eyeballs and put on a pink LSU hat. What I'm wearing will really matter in a minute, keep reading...
So I met the van, grabbed her stuff, loaded her up and went to a chicken place up the road. We walk in and Courtney orders, then I order. This guy comes up and asks if we're here to fill out an application. Being the dork I am, I pop off, with a "not unless you're hiring part-time help. And I don't work on Sundays because of church." He says, well me neither and gives me a pen.
We go sit down at the table, Courtney's eating and I'm filling out an application. He comes to our table and says that they are looking for unique people. I asked him what it was about us that made him come up and ask about jobs. He said, the pink hat. I saw it through the window and y'all were smiling and laughing with each other and that's the kind of people we want.
Another guy comes up to our table. His name is Damon and he's the manager I'll be working under. He reads on my application that I'm from Texas. He asks what brought me here to BR, I told him at first it was the free rent and free food with the folks after college graduation, and then God kept me here because I fell in love with my church. He asked what church I go to. So I start bubbling about the ring, and he says that one time a big group of guys came from the ring. He says he knows T and Jake, who are two of the Elders at the Ring. So I tell them the news that we're a church now, have been since February. Meanwhile, Nathan walked in so we flagged him down and introduced him to the management.
As my "interview" goes on, Damon is talking to the other manager and he's describing the ring. He says its church, but rock style. Then he asks me if that's a good way to describe it. I smilingly agreed. He talked about the band and how good they were.
And now I start Monday at 6pm... By the way, that's their birthday. Every 10th person gets their meal free all day long...And they'll have cake. Mmm cake.
On the way to the car, Courtney says, I didn't tell them you're bad in the kitchen, I figure they'll find out on their own. And that's true, so its a good thing I'm counter help and not kitchen help...
