{just a few things}
my cold is slowly getting better, the sun is finally showing its face, and i got done painting today 4 hours early and i still get paid for those 4 hours! i have to say that i really like my painting job. the day goes by really fast because there is always something to do. i get to be outside. the people i work with are really cool, let me introduce you to them.
Cory: the main manager guy. i don't really have to see him much, he is always going from site to site. he is kind of disorganized. he is only 22 and from st. paul. he could be described as someone who likes to talk.
Ben: he is the leader of my team, they call him the foreman, or job site manager. he is only 19 and from buffalo (the one in MN). he knows his painting pretty well since he did it last summer as well. he could be described as a pretty-boy soccer type kid, cause he played that in high school.
ibraheim (pronounced sort of like abraham, though i am not sure if i spelt it right): this guy is automatically cool, cause he has worn a timberwolves sweatshit to almost every day of work. so we talk basketball a lot, and he picked up smoking again after the wolves lost because he was so sad. he is from north minneapolis, a very rough area where you hear gunshots a lot. we are painting near his house right now, and he was telling us how it is hard for a lot of the people in the area to find jobs because they have been to jail, and having a record does not look good to employers. he was telling us this because this morning when we were setting up, some random guy stopped his van in the middle of the alley, got out, and asked if we needed any help painting. we assured him that we were good, and he went on his way.
