The Search Begins

While attending ISU I also realized that I would have to have the sufficient funds to pay for college and my dates. I did not have a scholarship or a savings so I had to get a job. Not working on Sundays was a priority of mine, due to this choice my selection was slim. My sister had told me of a location that had just opened up and because of corporate rules they were not allowed to open on Sunday. I walked into Hogi Yogi to get an application. The hiring manager had spent some time in Brazil as well and was intrigued by my ability to speak Portuguese and promptly gave me a part time job. Now that I had a job I was ready to begin the dating process. 

I am not going to bore my kids with details of my dating life, but how I handled myself while on those dates did play a key role in me convincing their mother into marring me. One important fact was that I had a coworker named Jeremy that would inquire about my weekend every week and I would tell him of the activities that me and my date had attended that week.

Back the journey. I would attend class in the morning and go to work during the lunch rush, and then back to class. After my afternoon classes I would head back to work to assist in closing the shop. On my first day of work I had just finished my training lesson when the assistant manager came into work. The first thing I noticed about the assistant manager was that she had the longest and most attractive long hair I had ever seen. She had just turned 19 and was a friend of the owner and manager. I had not thought much of it at the time, but I had an instinctive attraction to brunettes. Over the course of a few weeks I had manged to annoy the living daylights out of the assistant manager due to my personality and the general chip on her shoulder towards guys. Knowing that I was not going to find my wife at a yogurt and sub shop I did not think much of it. 

One of the annoying practices that I had was to respond in Portuguese whenever someone asked me a questions. The best time was during the lunch rush. I had heard and acknowledged the order and was promptly making the dish. The assistant manager was thoroughly annoyed and extremely sarcastic. I would say that she was so sarcastic that it verged upon rude, but that is just my opinion
