Hairy Krishna! Hairy Krishna!
It was just another sorry ass half day at work again and I'm
getting rather sick of it. I so much would rather work a full shift
and get my hours over with in as few days as possible. Oh well. It
took a little bit of effort to wake up this morning, and I topped it
all off by spilling a bunch of my corn flakes all over myself.
Optimism won out though as I figured that meant I'd have a better day
at work since my luck at home wasn't any good. I then heard a story
on the Power Pig about all of the religious sects who are saying that
tomorrow is the end of the world where all evil will get plucked out
of the world at once. Great, what a way to end the week.
I walked into the Congo office and was relieved as Melissa was
sitting in the chair. She's a lot less strict sometimes and I didn't
shave or anything. She asked me what I wanted to do and I said park
patrol, of course. I then hung out for a few minutes and talked with
her. She told me that she's leaving me and I wondered why she was
making such a big deal out of it. I played along and then found out
that she meant she's transferring and I acted depressed. She's making
assistant unit supervisor maybe up at Questor or guest relations.
Everybody thought the news was wonderful as they found out later on.
I went and did my track run and only found about a dollar. It's
really not worth it anymore getting all sweaty and dirty when there's
not nearly as much stuff in the track as there use to be. It's the
landscapers [snip] faults because they get everything now before we
do. I got pissed as I saw two guys who should have been working just
looking for money in the bushes. I'm paid to fuck around, they're
paid for manual labor and shouldn't be doing that.
I joked around with Lisa who is getting married on Friday
possibly on the Kumba. I was also joking around with Latina and later
on I talked a while with Shannon when she came in. I then headed out
to boardwalk and started to have fun. There were two of us out there
and virtually no trash anywhere. I saw my other Lisa in the Roar
Store and was glad to have someone to rescue me from the boredom. We
started talking about her hair which she liked when it was longer and
I was trying to boost her morale about it which she seemed to
appreciate. We also talked about high school. She went to private
Catholic school all of her life but finished up at Chamberlain.
I kept going back and visiting her every once in a while for as
long as I could. We started talking about single people and I
mentioned that there are no single girls up at the Kumba. She said
that there is a new young girl who is short but really attractive who
works this Friday and I acted excited about that. She was telling me
a little bit about this gorgeous darker Spanish girl named Krishna
whom I have seen since I started but have really slacked in never
talking to her. I did say hi to her a couple of times with Chris
Hunte by my side yesterday but that was the first time. Speaking of
Chris, he told me this morning that [snip], but I am still not sure of the validity of what he said, but my hopes are high!!!
Lisa said something about how she was single for a long time
without dating. I joked that wouldn't have helped us because we were
little kids then probably. I said that since she a little older, but
not really that much. She corrected me that it was just recently. She
was also telling me about how she and her boyfriend dated when they
were younger. She was thirteen when he was sixteen which
automatically tells me a lot about him. She said that she was really
cute back then, and I told her that she still is even with short hair
and she really liked that. She was also standing on a box behind her
register so she could be as tall as me and I thought that was funny.
I got paged up to the control panel and was relieved as I got
the control panel. Actually I complained to Melissa that I didn't
want it since I was having fun out on boardwalk. We talked for a few
minutes and then she asked me where I am going for lunch. I didn't
know so she offered that we could go to the Festhaus together and we
soon left. She called Shannon up to replace me and I told her we were
going to dinner. Shannon came up to me later and grabbed my arm and
joked as she said that she thought I didn't like Melissa and then
hinted that Melissa and I were doing other things than just eating
while we were gone. It was funny. melissa and I sat opposite of mike
and the two new guys. I had a huge roast beef sandwich on Cuban bread
with mushroom gravy everywhere. I also had a huge plate of rice
covered with black eyed peas. It was really good and I was stuffed. I
saw and talked to Rebecca Sanborne for a few minutes before we
finally left much later than I should have.
Lisa was on boardwalk then but she was going home right as I got
back and I took over for her which was cool. I was looking at these
two gorgeous girls in line and Lisa was laughing that I'm worse than
any of them so I complained that all of the girls that work here are
getting married and she snickered. I went back to the Roar Store to
hang out with Lisa some more. I asked her once if she knows Karen and
she said yes and we talked about her for a few minutes. It was
getting close to twelve thirty when she would get her only break for
the day given by Krishna. She had said that Krishna came in an hour
early by mistake and was then running late. She then let me buy a
buffalo nickel from her that some guy had spent and I was pretty
happy because that is my first. Two of her big supervisors walked up
then and I had to take off for a few minutes although I joked with
them for a second and laughed with them.
I was then walking around with August out on the boardwalk when
Krishna walked by. I smiled and said hi as she passed and August was
impressed after he asked if I know her or just said hi and I said the
later. I soon decided that there was no better time than then to
start talking to Krishna so I went over with a moth in my stomach
(not butterflies, just a tiny bit of nervousness since first
impressions mean the world). I asked her if they finally let Lisa
leave and she laughed and said yes. She then started complaining
about the weather which is a typical beginning and I said it didn't
bother me. She laughed that neither the heat nor the rain bothers me
and I realized that she had noticed me yesterday. Cool!
We started talking to briefly get to know one another. I laughed
to myself at how routine this conversation has become. I asked her
how long she has worked here and liked how she asked me the same
question back. I then told her I only work summers and she asked
where I go to school and what I am trying to be. I would have
volunteered the pre med stuff anyway but I was flabbergasted (he he!)
that she was taking an interest in the conversation. I am so used to
leading the conversation myself but she was helping out and I liked
it a lot! Only now am I starting to realize what all she was doing
while we talked. She said that she is going to HCC and after I asked
her where she went to high school, she said Venezuela!!! I joked that
I probably won't recognize the high school then and she laughed and
agreed.
The only thing is that she has a somewhat heavy accent and I
have to talk loud and plain for her to hear me, but I wasn't having
too many problems. I asked her what she did after coming in an hour
early and she looked surprised and asked how I knew that until she
realized Lisa had told me. She then was mentioning that it takes her
a while to get here and I asked her where she lives. When she said
Town n Country I suddenly remembered someone telling me that and told
her I do to. She said she lives behind the Wal Mart on the other side
of Waters. I then asked her how she gets to work and she laughed and
looked at me like I'm crazy as she said she rides her horse!!!
Fucking smartass!!! She then said that she comes by car so I
corrected my question and found out she goes down Waters to Armenia
and then Busch. She also found it funny that my house is further away
than hers is from the park.
I didn't let her live the horse joke down and we laughed a lot
about it until I had to leave. Even then she asked if I'd carry her
horse out some water because it is hot and I asked her which one it
is since there is a whole row of horses in the parking lot and she
laughed pretty hard.
We also talked about Chris' party on Friday and she asked me if
I am going. She said she is since she has no other plans. She
remembered that I was there last time which was cool. We also talked
about her friend Dianne who looked like she had a lot of fun that
night.
Hairy Krishna! Hairy Krishna! (She pulled her hair down once and
it was gorgeous!)
I also talked for a while with my other Latin lover, Yvette. I
noticed her and two other girls looking at me and talking about me
once yesterday when I was at height stick. I remember last summer how
Christina said they all used to talk about me (us, but still). I was
glad to get to talk to Latina and Shannon in front of her to maybe
make her jealous...
