So, This is Life...

The many adventures Katie finds herself on while juggling school, work, and a personal life as she tries to make something of herself... and so begins her struggle against complete insanity.

At 19, Katie finds herself stepping out into the real world, armed only with a slightly dysfunctional support system and a sense of humor.

Follow her observations on daily life in Hampton Roads as she learns about life through trial and error, quite likely calling her mom for advice all along the way!

Ah, the Lunch Crowd...

If there's one thing you can count on in Virginia Beach, it's an interesting lunch crowd.

It was relatively slow, but it's always fun to look at the crowds of folks (mostly co-workers) coming in together. And it never fails that they'll divid the check five different ways.

The best part, I thought, was that there were a lot of regulars, so they didn't give me a hard time about anything, being the newbie and all. And then, of course, there are those customers who make a point to scoff at me every time I hit a wrong button on register... they aren't so fun.

All in all, as my verison of the food-related job that everyone these days seems to work by the time they're twenty-one, it looks like it just might not be all that bad.
