New Job

Drum rolls, please...

I got the job in Cafe Sofa! So cool! Quite happy about that, since they strike me as a place that needs good French. But Valerie said the last girl who worked there was anglophone, and it worked out fine...as well I was one of their top choices during the interview, and they were rather impressed with my French, haha. I really am quite lucky, because a good number of people want to work there, including the frenchies...I seriously thought Cheryl would get the job...

Here`s the list of people and their jobs.

Zach - Youth Employment Center/Theatre
Rebecca - Thrift store
Mike - Farm
Stephen - Farm (I feel for him man)
Cynthia - Women`s Centre (grrrrrr....haha)
Maxime - Elementary school
Cheryl - Daycare (very surprised about that, I think there`s something going on there that I don`t know about)
Stephanie - Child/Pregnancy Place
Charles - CSI

In general, I think people got their first or second choice, which is good. Cheryl in a daycare still puzzles me...but whatever, this week Maxime and Cheryl are house managers because of their jobs. With the results of this I am going to take back what I said previously, that only the French kids can get the best jobs, because that`s not really true. And I am happy about that because that means we will learn French very quickly, yay. This gives hope to our existance here in Quebec...

So today was my first day at work, and it`s good...your typical barista/bartista job...reminds me a lot of IHOP, back in the good old days when I was a hostess. I met ma patronne Claudine...a nice lady who can speak English but we converse in a combination of franglais. As well, I actually got to work with the vraiment nice girl who gave me extra smoothie...her name is Aurelie and she pretty much only speak to me in French (even though she can speak English) which was tellement excellent pour moi, je prefere comme ca...she is an artist and some of her art is displayed in the cafe. She said perhaps I can visit her studio later on...tres fabuleux! Plus the job is quite chill...other than slight first-day mistakes (not cutting a croissant properly, ugly presentation of bananas), Claudine was tres impressionee avec moi, yay...I learnt how to make the arabian coffee and espresso today.

Oops it`s 17:24 now, and I am still in the cafe using the internet...I should go home now because they may be having dinner...plus it`s freaking cold outside.
