Long term readers may remember me blogging about getting a job at Los Hermanos in fall 2008 and the training, and so forth. I LOVED working there, for the most part. The hours were not awesome, and making hardly any money was even less awesome. What was good about the job then you may ask? It was the fact that I got to hang out with fun people all day long. I actually liked going to work because I loved goofing off all night with a little bit of hard labor in between. With some exceptions, the hiring-cool-people record was very good at Los. The fact is, we all just got along and had a lot of fun. We were all young and in school and trying to figure out what we were going to do next. Of course there were spats and disagreements; you can’t help it when you work with people all day long and into the nights. Also the fact that most are in their early to mid 20’s….
But since I worked full time, and sometimes overtime, I got to spend lots of time with all the workers. And the time period that I worked there was especially awesome because we’ve all been able to stay friends since. For some reason we all got especially close during the year I worked there (not because of me or anything, just that time frame). I haven’t worked there since August of 2009 and I still see them every couple months.
We got together last night because Rachel and her husband Danny are moving to Arizona to start school. Rachel worked there for quite awhile and everyone loves her because she is just so sweet! It’s becoming a trend though. My old roommate Becky that also worked there practically slipped away in the night last weekend. And two other couples are moving soon too! It’s kind of sad to see everyone move on and away, but I am so grateful that I was able to work there and make the friends I did. I have incredibly fond memories of that old building, and wish that it hadn't moved across the street! It's wonderful to see everyone going their own ways and getting married and having kids, but still having fun like we used to.
Side note: I am happy to have a job that I don’t rely on tips for.

It's crazy how during that time frame we all got so close! I think we were just all that awesome. Los recognized the cool kid potential in us. And haha, I laughed at your ending side note.
I am so depressed I wasn't there for this. Can we have a BBQ or something when I graduate in April? I refuse to accept that I've attended my last Los party.
