It all works out.

 

Tom doesn’t want to mention this news for fear of jinxing it. He’s still a little stunned. I expect wacky things to happen all the time so I however am quite willing to tempt fate. We’ve all got jobs at the same place, except for Jacko because he’s not got a permit of course. We all lined up at the 50’s diner this morning as per the instructions on the sign advertising the forthcoming opening and hiring of staff. There were about 25 people turning up this morning and almost all of them got jobs.

The guy interviewing asked what jobs we’d like and Matt went for server and Tom and I choose busboys as we’re not so confident in our serving abilities but in retrospect, we could probably have asked for server positions as well, especially as we were at the front of the line so we had first choice of positions.

So we’ll get a place tomorrow and we’ll be all sorted, except for having to work everyday. The diner opens on Monday so we have a few shifts this week cleaning the place as the health inspector will be checking shortly.

Poor Saddam, I feel sorry for him. I’m not saying I agree with his evil ruling style, but the newspapers here are so pro-USA that I can’t help feeling on his side.

The internet timer is counting down so I’m going to wrap this up. More soon.

  1. And they all lived happily ever after.
    Congrats, guys =)
    Oh, except Jackson. Ya bum.

  2. Mean ol’ Shannon.

    I’m still stunned but am having to face reality.

  3. Is Jackson not planning to work? Why doesn’t he have a permit?

  4. Oh im teasing. He knows it. He doesnt read comments anyway, remember?
    Anyway if it gets dire, I’ll hire him. He can wait on me hand on foot when i get there. Snicker Or, I can pay him in advance for writing some of my essays next year. Lots of options. He’s very resourceful, stress less.

  5. WTG guys what a blast to b working in same place. Hope you all get same shifts together

  6. Jackson, not being a student, couldn’t get into our program and get a working visa. But we all decided he’d come along for a bit anyhow… It seemed a good idea at the time, maybe it still is.

  7. Righto, interesting. I was just curious.
