it's only day two?

oh my goodness. i've worked 20 hours and it seems like a week has gone by. wait, that sounds familiar. oh yeah! Guatemala! wow ... talk about similarities.

today was my long day ... 11 hours with no break, no sitting, no casual dining, and hardly any talking. i'm exhausted, again.

the positive is that i almost mastered the ice cream machine today. i successfully made several items without making a huge mess (but once i didn't have such success). the trick is to pull slowly. :-)

the people in this store cuss all the time. they smoke. they move fast. they complain. they talk faster than auctioneers. the girls are rude, bossy, and not afraid to tell you when you do something wrong. the guys are helpful, kind, and actually introduce themselves (to me).

the only time i talked about anything was after work when i Ricky and i were going home. when i was asking him a question, my voice actually sounded weird to me because i hadn't heared it conversationally in so long. throughout the day the only things i say are, "order up", and the names of items. M&M Blast, ice, large cups, chocolate shake, ORDER UP!!!

and now that another day has ended entirely too quickly, i must go to bed and get ready for another one.
