i absolutely loved it!  what a hoot!  so much to learn my head spins around.  and people give me money!  and the man who cooks is from Italy with all the attendant craftsmanship that that entails.  and he likes me!  whooda thunk, i love it!

i’d better as, since the county hasn’t yet come through (it will, it just hasn’t yet) i’m still on unemployment, which means that i’m esentially working at NOLA for nothing, since they’ll deduct anything i make from unemployment.  the whole thing was dependent upon having the county job already, that’s why i went to NOLA cafe when I did--I just didn’t expect them to want me so soon!  tonight he called up and wanted me for the breakfast shift and again for the late afternoon one!  i told him i could do one of those and so he said late afternoon, and he’ll work me into the schedule after that.  i’m gonna hafta ask him to work me in a little bit less for the next week or so, just until i get the other job going, or i’ll be laboring for free! i hope that won’t be a problem.
