You may recall me mentioning a New York Health Association school grant I was applying for a few months ago. Well good news, I was approved and received my grant check in the mail a few days ago! It came much sooner and was for a little more than I expected. Close to 3 grand for a WASP who works… not bad. I won’t tell them that I’m having to retake a practical exam in January and will deposit that check today before they change their mind! Ha.
In other news, last night Jen and I and friends Jacob and Louis finally got to hang out after almost a year of talking about it. Like me, they also work in the hospitality industry so with all our crazy schedules we never could organize a date night. It also worked out perfectly that my favorite crazy coworker Caitlyn was able to get us and Bourbon St employees free tickets to The Addams Family on Broadway (she also works for the show). The whole production was kind of silly but we had great seats and I was excited that it's starring Brooke Shields. Although she looked great playing Morticia Addams, I don’t think theatrical singing and dancing is her thing. After the show we were all saying the same thing, that Shields was a little off in her singing and dancing, or just seemed bored (and not in the good Morticia kind of way). Not the best show we’ve seen so far, but for a free night out with our friends and my coworkers it couldn’t be beat!
Jen started her new job at “the FED” Monday and really likes it. She sent me a text from work saying “I want to work here forever,” as she feels like she’s working for a good, real company for the first time. The benefits are ridiculous too. I was literally reading through the information packet for like an hour, drooling. By the way, thanks to everyone who prayed and supported Jen as she was going through the almost two month long application process.
