First Day at work: I can dig it!+The Pollo Encebollado Adventure!

W00t first day at work dwagggg! I woke up hella early and had breakfast which I guess I should start doing now that I'm a grown man. Took the bus to work, which drops me off like 30 ft from the door and takes like 8 minutes. That is some convenience. Anyways I got there super early because when ever I have a first day of something it's generally how I roll. Thanks to the tour de force film Drumline I know that you're late if you're on time, you're on time if you're 5 minuter early. Yea I just dropped some drumline knowledge on you. Feel the power. Anyways burned some time at starbucks, their tea sucks, but I got to read some more of on the road which is starting to sort of suck me in in the way that that books of that era really were able to romanticize the vagabond life.

First day was good, basically one of the interns was leaving the day I was starting so she transitioned me. There was a ton of stuff to learn but it's all interesting in that it relates to comprehensive immigration reform which is something I'm all about. They took my to lunch at this peruvian Chicken joint called Nando's which was pretty good. Spicy and teh suchez. Anyways they want me to be like a consultant and streamline their outreach since I'm supposed to be the grassroots organizer while they're the lawyers. It should be something I can do so I'm pretty excited. I don't know if they were supposed to tell me but they said I could basically stay as long as I wanted, so I guess it's like I sort of have a real job? Maybe they'll take that back if I start fucking up but I'm pretty down for it either way. They even gave me a fancy wine bottle opener which was their holiday party gift. It's missing the foil cutter but hey, it was a gift!

Got home and took my first stab at pollo encebollado and it was a stab. I bought all these chicken legs because they're cheaper and thought it would be better to take the meat off the bones. It proved to be much more of a task than I'd anticipated.

EPIC PART: IF YOU READ ANY OF THIS ENTRY READ THIS

Weezy sent me "Hearts on Fire" from the Rocky IV soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPbLzu83Ato&feature=fvst) and I was chopping onions and since I'm a weeny I was totally crying. To hearts on fire. Yea. EPIC. picture it. Have a hearty laugh on my behalf.

Anyways the chicken came out ok but it wasn't anything super great. I think the way I had it in the restaurant was totally different but the way I made it looked like the google images pictures so iunno.

yeaaaa
