Shine
Recently my manager was promoted and will be transferring to another hotel by next week. My friend, Massiel, told me that I should show some interest in her job. I shrugged it off as I have only been here a month. On my way in to work today ‘Shine’ from Billy Elliot came on the ipod and had me reconsider. It was almost like a thought of, why not try? The worst that could happen is that...

Oh, O
I was recently watching Oprah’s Life Class on Own and Ms. Oprah spit out a quote by Whoopi that caught me:
“Everything you try to do to me, is already done to you.”
I believed it to be true about Karma and how it all comes around to snip the person, then this past week this girl at work who was rude to me…well, she was bit.

I have been working this new hotel job now for almost a month now and it has proved interesting in many ways.

2, I’ve been doing more work than necessary to try and stay busy and just in general...

EBT Accepted Here
This is going to sound racist, but…
I have been living up in Washington Heights now since about the beginning of February and every time I go to the grocery store, Bravo, around the corner from my house, it is a bit frustrating. I can at times exaggerate things but literally every time that I have been in the check out line the person in front of me has always used an EBT card to pay for...
