"Demolition and catering"

taylweaverThat's what I thought the van parked in Chinatown said. It's much more interesting than what the van actually said - "demolition and carting" - and it also shows how tired I was on Friday.
As for what I was doing in Chinatown in the first place - well, that is a happy thing - I finally got my last paycheck for the summer. Now, if only I could get my first paycheck for my current job... that would make me very happy.
In other news, I started wandering around to the new schools on my caseload. I was sitting in an office looking at documents in one of them when a person walked in and introduced herself as a speech teacher. She looked at me for a moment and said something along the lines of, "you look familiar, but you're in the wrong context. What's your name." I told her. Then she asked, "were you AN's roommate?" "Yes. How do you know her?" "I live with her now."
And did I mention that all three speech teachers in that particular school are Jewish? They showed me the one kosher place in the neighborhood - a falafel place, which also sells sushi. Does every single kosher place sell sushi now? It didn't quite match the other foods there - all very Israeli. Made me think of the article in the Times this week (last week?) in the dining section about how Chinese food gets mixed with all sorts of other cuisines - including Kosher. Of course, Sushi is Japanese, but never mind...
On a different note, it's strange enough when I realize people my age are married. Even stranger to meet someone around my age who is divorced.

Just recently, I ran into the brother of somebody I had known as a kid while 2500 miles from home. Happens all the time.
3) Sushi is the new fast food. It's quick, tasty, and healthy. If only it weren't so darn expensive...
4) People get married in their 20s. It happens. I know one person in our peer group who is divorced, and was divorced at a very young age. I have never had the guts (or the need) to ask for that story.
