Life's too interesting to pick a niche

August 3: I Develop a Need for Naps

​It’s 3:15 p.m. and I just woke up from a 2-hour nap. My roommates are very noisy and stay up late. 


I worked 6:30-10:30 and have another shift from 6:00-10:00 today. They want me to get experience serving breakfast and dinner. Lunch is easy. Everyone gets the same thing. They sit down and you give them a plate. Taking orders is intimidating.

Today has been good because I was allowed to actually do things, but I always had someone to ask if I wasn’t sure I was doing it right. Tonight, supper is a buffet, but people might order wine. I know nothing about wine.

This seems to be a wild land where people live in and with nature instead of having a myriad of accommodations to keep away from nature as much as possible. 

Alex is running in circles, trying to round up and herd the wild birds. It doesn’t seem to be working.
