meat anyone?

After being unhappily unemployed for 2 months, I have a finally landed a job. Yes! And is the job of my dreams, that will lead me to a successful and happy life?! No, it's your local Safeway Grocery store. That's right, here I am a college graduate and now I slice meat. Lots, and lots of meat. I slice meat, sell meat, clean mean, oh yeah and cheese. Meat and cheese. Meat and cheese. I am Megan the deli girl. I know, I know you're jealous. Totally, I understand. I would be too. All kidding aside, it's a job. And in this economy a job is a job. Do I feel embarrassed? Yeah, I'll be to first to admit that feel a little embarrassed. But there's nothing wrong with. Ive come to find the employees of Safeway fascinating and diverse.

In my deli department, I work with quite the cast of characters. We have Nancy, the Deli manager. She's an older lady with crooked yellow teeth, that match her wiry yellow hair, and frail thin wrinkled wrists. She's a lot more intelligent then she appears. She's well spoken, and well surprising. Then we have Teri, Teri is another lady with a slight hunch in her back and a attitude! She's a fiesty snappy old lady, who know wants to mess with. There's Lisa, she's new too and I know more about then I know about anyone who I've known for less then two days. She's positive, and will chat your ear off. But she's a got a zest for life. Finally,there's David. David's an army boy who likes to call his girlfriend a "beaner" cause she's Mexican. I find that awfully romantic. Haha, okay maybe romantic isn't the right word. Whatever works. And there's me. A well educated girl, clueless about the food industry and meat slicers, who just needs some money.

But it is hard work, and I'll never judge anyone who works in the food industry again. It may not be something I look forward to everyday but I'll work hard and make some money. I can only hope this will bring me back down to earth, instead of feeling high and mighty. And I would like to personally thank my local Safeway for giving me a job, where none could be found.

Have a slice,

Megan
