so the job i thought i was getting turned out to be a sham. so i quit. good thing i did because a buddy got me a job at the local public market. it's fucking awesome! i get to rock out and make salads all day. it's decent money too. it's all local food. they have local vendors come on weds and sats and have a big outside set up. this is pretty close to perfect. it's been a bumpy couple of months but the road is smoothing out. by july i will be coasting! a little hard work, luck, and help from friends goes a long way.
