Student by Day
...Bartender by Night

After not working for how many months?, I took a night job at and American sports bar called Crazy Monkey. It definitely wasn´t my first choice of work but convernient and I am actually having a good time . I´ve made the transition to staying up until 2am and then trying to sleep in over the sound of the construction crew in the morning.

I make a woping dollar and hour plus dinner and $4 credit for drinks or food on my days off. Conveniently for Luke, he can eat a free meal while watching NFL tickekt. I speak Spanish more that I thought I would even if it is the same ten phrases over and over: On the rocks? I´m 27. I´m from NY. No, I´m married. Here´s your bill. What no tip?

It is really entertaining work. I meet so many different types of people from tourists, peace corps volunteers, crusty long time residents and partying locals.
Among my favorites have been the American gemologists (the inspected every piece of my jewlery with a mini flashlight), the 2 Pepsi guy, the man that growls, the Irish documentary crew, the Nicaraguan selling prosetheses, the blue- shot girl, and Hector the perfectionist waiter

Luke usually waits up for me and I recount my nightly stories as we finally drift to sleep.
