Tonight I finished my eighth day in a row of work at the Lenox Room. Everyone has been asking me how I like my new job. Truth be told, I don't. However, the money is good.
I have always appreciated the fact that each person is of value. The people I serve, on the other hand, have the belief that people with money are people of value. More money equals more value. They are the typical Upper East Side Royalty that you see in movies.
I used to think that Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada was an exageration of a personality. However, I wait on women just like her everyday. Yesterday, a woman demanded that her food be cut for her in the kitchen. She was offended that we would assume that she would cut her own food. :)
I know I will not be able to take a full summer of these people. Therefore, I am going to work until I can save enough to pay rent and live for the summer. Then I am going to put in my resignation.
All I can do now, is smile and know that there is an end in sight.
Wish me luck.

Hey Callie! I love that you have this thing so I can see how things are going in NYC. Good luck with the job hunt!
Wish I had $$$$$ to just give you so you don't have to be around such
arrogance.
I think this might be a great learning experience for you though.
You actually get to see the ugly face of arrogance on a daily bases and know that this is something you'll never be.
luv u
