table for 2

9/20/07

today was the first opportunity i had to spend any sort of time with veronica. she's been great so far, the atmosphere is totally relazxed and all she expects is my honesty and hard work. things should go just swell.

i will say this is going to be on of those jobs where they throw you in head first. you learn how to swim quickly, or drown. yesterday, i tabled my first event at concordia university.

of course i was late. however, it wasn't my fault this time! before leaving i asked if the route indicated by mapquest was open, as it is construction season in milwaukee. she said there shouldn't be any problem. i left at ten am as planned, allowing for half an hour's drive time and half an hour to set up the display and materials. as my fine luck would have it, there was construction on every road i needed to drive on.

i arrived at the campus (which was also under construction) at exactly 11:00. there were maybe three students (one of whom was dragged in by his nursing student girlfriend). i did make a connection with a fellow named jon from the greater milwaukee chapter of big brothers big sisters. he kept me entertained as we shared a table. neither of us were important enough to have one set up for us.

that was that, but the week has been great.
