Finally....A JOB!

After many many interviews, and still more to come, I have found a job!! I am currently working at Tijuana Flats, a mexican restaurant. http://www.tijuanaflats.com/index.php I am a part of their wait staff and so far its great. It is pretty much just something to hold me over until everything works out with sail laser. The hours are flexible, the pay is ok, and they offer benefits!!!

Other than that everything has been fun...except for the fact that the sox are down in the series. I show red sox pride everywhere, and so far no one has attacked me! Everybody is really friendly and its fun to walk around in a sox shirt at the bars!

I just wanted to put up a picture of the view from my apartment. This picture is what I see when I walk out the front door and look down the street. It is a little park with a beach and public tennis courts. Its a 3 minute walk and a great place to relax for the afternoon!


Another update: I am off the crutches!!! I went sailing for the first time yesterday and it was soooooo great to be back out there!!! The only scary part about the whole thing was watching a shark swim right underneath me and the boat...it was little, but where there are small ones there are big ones! So far, haven't seen any of the big ones!

Being a tourist.

I have decided that while I am still trying to find a job, I might as well check out the sights and the local parks/beaches. I went to the park for awhile a couple days ago, which was beautiful and a chance to be outside and not just tanning on the beach. Monday I got to go out sailing, which was absolutely beautiful, not much breeze, but beautiful. It has been a lot of fun getting to know people and doing things around St. Pete.




Last night I went to the USF Bulls game!!! Yes, I rooted for the bulls...I didn't go to a college that had football and never paid attention to it before so i figured why not. It was a lot of fun!


As for the job update...I have an interview tonight for a manager position at a local mexican restaurant that a few of my friends work at, and an interview next week at a retail store, also for a management position. Hopefully something works out, I will keep posting.
