Day off!

GREAT news from my boss... I get the entire day off on Tuesday! I can't tell you how excited I am. This will be my first day to just lay around and relax...Only one shift between me and Tuesday, and unfortunately its probably going to be a 12 hour, but hey..I'll take it.
A couple of days ago I was actually woken up by the sound of the island ambulance (one of the only cars here). It's really strange when you're pretty much isolated by motorized noise, surrounded by sounds of horse hooves and their carriages, to hear that early in the morning...its just weird.
Work has been going well, the days are starting to go by faster and I've definitely gotten the hang of what I'm doing. Today I spoke with a couple about their aunt who is coming here next week to celebrate her 90th birthday and they asked what kind of gifts/baskets we have that we could put in the room for her...I said, "Well...can she still, like...drink?"

Seriously, do 90 year olds drink?

This one apparently does, a lot! The guy says back to me "That's how she made it to 90!!"
You know what they say, a glass a day keeps the doctor away. As if I needed another reason to become a wine connoiseur.

So speaking of my date yesterday. I guess we weren't....but now that we are...! Yes I went on a dinner date yesterday... This guy who works at the front desk asked me out a couple of days ago so we went to a little restaurat downtown for pizza...It was a lot of fun and he was cute, but I'm thinking it'll be a one time thing...I've only been here a week and definitely am not looking to be "dating" anyone here. Working 12 hours a day, there's no way I'd have time for something like that anyway. I'm here to meet friends, have fun, work, and learn a lot! A cute island boyfriend unfortunately just doesn't look like it's going to fit into that picture.


And on that note, have a great day! Hopefully I'll have more to tell after my adventures on Tuesday!
