Random Scrap:
The miracles do happen. I was heading towards my Introduction to Arts class when when I received a phone call from Brenda, an owner of a Greek restaurant. I passed through her place a few days before and dropped my CV. She seemed nice and even said that she preferred hiring immigrants than 'lazy' locals but I was already used to keeping my enthusiasm down. She asked whether I had time to come back to her place preferably as soon as possible. Of course. She also asked me to bring sun glasses and a hat as the job will be mostly outside for now. And maybe a CD player. When I showed up an hour later she handed me a big arrow shaped sign with "Greek Food" letters written on it and dropped me off at the corner of Highway 111 and Magnesia Falls. The sign has also helium balloons attached to it. My new job was to stand at that corner and attract attention of the passing back drivers. It paid eight dollars per hour. Brenda promised me that once traffic started picking up I would be able to start my training to become a server and work inside.
