Hello! Remember me? I guess it's been a while, but I've discovered other things to do while I'm killing time at work: Facebook!
It's super fun. I graduated too long ago to be able to have a college email address, so my profile says I'm just from Provo, UT. I'm not. I'm from New Mexico. I just live here because Kevin goes to school here. And because I have a cool job.
Speaking of my job. For the last 3 1/2 hours, I've had ONE phone call. It was this Chinese guy from Beijing who really likes to talk. It was fun to talk to him in Chinese for the first several hours. But then I got a little antsy and sick of talking to him while I should have been working. He did have a legitimate reason for calling, but he was very indecisive about that, so it took another 30 minutes to even finish up his order.
But he was nice for the first 2 1/2 hours or so.
He's from Beijing, and he used to play the piano in hotel lobbies. And I used to work in a hotel! He would get paid about a dollar for 4 hours of playing, and I'm not terribly surprised that he left China. He studied music all throughout Europe, and now he teaches piano lessons in Seattle.
He laughed really hard when I mentioned Kevin as my "Lao Gong." He was just laughing b/c it is very very colloquial. Kind of like saying "hubby." But that's what he is!
And he wanted me to set him up with all the Chinese-speaking Americans I know. So if you are one of those, let me know, and I have someone you should meet.
