The only reason I did that, injuring my palms, knuckles, abdomen and knee was because I was jacked up on espresso at training week at the Harrison Grille. That&#8217;s right. The Harrison Grille now has espresso and accompanying coffee-based drinks. <\/p>\n<p>I came really early for training week: Saturday the 14. How couldn&#8217;t I? I won&#8217;t identify my summer job back in Illy, but I will say that I wore a tie, represented a corporation and endangered the health of hundreds of people. <\/p>\n<p>My mom and aunt dropped me off at the house of <em>Los Tres Camisos Negros<\/em>: Audrey, Sherry and Liz. They were gracious enough to lend me their couch and let me get naked in their shower for a week while I waited for my lease to start. <\/p>\n<p>Living near the Fowler bridge across the river was a new experience. My only other exposure to overpasses and ramps like that was in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. But I finally know how to navigate that big street by the river without hopping over a concrete divider. Unfortunately, hitting X does not let me do bunny hops over pedestrians. But something I could do here that I couldn&#8217;t do in GTA: take the bus to the downtown station so I could transfer to another bus that would take me to work.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the Harrison Grille, with many of the supervisors gone, a lot falls on the shoulders of those who remain, most of all, the grey shirts. Luckily, we have a good looking group of tan shirts that we&#8217;ve gotten to know well over the last week. We all bonded over a group espresso binge and a minor smoothie Chernobyl during preview days. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, did I mention we have fresh fruit smoothies? Hells yeah, bitches. Available in sixteen ounce portions: $3.89 <\/p>\n<p>Bitches.<\/p>\n<p>Also, here is a picture of Audrey&#8217;s dog.
