muy bueno?

so today is hot. and gross. and really sticky out. like the kind of hot, sticky weather that takes your breath away.

i'm in the works to sport the shift leader shirt as we speak. i mean type. i'm excited about it. it will be nice to have a job with some authority. i've never had one of those before. i'm also very slowly learning spanish. my boss, john, speaks it fluently. i asked him how he learned it and he said that a restaurant he used to manage had an all spanish speaking kitchen staff. the two head cooks spoke english, but that was it. they were brothers, and when their mother died, they both left for mexico. john said he had to learn spanish really quickly and he just learned a phrase a day until it started making sense. he said all the stuff you learn in high school just sort of comes back to you. i know how to say "he's the best at making bread."

muy bueno para trabajar el pan.

i'm practically fluent.

love, kate

I'm learning Spanish too! "These pants make your mother look like a Snickers bar!" is "Estos pantalones hacen que su madre parece una barra de los Snickers!" I bet you can use that a lot in the oven line!
