I have to develop a new blogging schedule. My laptop died, I started a new full-time job, and I have NO access to interweb or computers for the WHOLE day.. yikes!
But I had my first day today at the brand new job. So that was exciting. What was not exciting was getting my first ever flat tire on the drive into work today. That blew. Literally. So a brisk walk from North & Robie to the South End got me movin this morning. I at least made it across the bridge and then abandoned the car at a service station. Things improved significantly though once I got to work. The highlight? Playing legos with a 4 year old. We were building spaceships and this is how the conversation went ::
J: My spaceship flies in outer space and this is the moon and this is the sun and this is the planet and this is the stars and this is the galaxy.
Me: okay. That sounds a lot like outer space.
J: yeah. I live on earth [long pause]. Do you live on earth?
Me: yes. Yes I do live on earth.
J: oh good.
Great first day.
That was likely the cutest conversation I've read/heard in a long, long time. Glad you're enjoying the new job and are getting along well with the kids. If that kid didn't like you, he wouldn't have been nearly as stoked to hear that you live on earth with him.
