Callbacks and Coffee
I went to work today. I really love my job. I open up the coffee shop at 6:45am, and my boss usually shows up sometime around 8:30 or 9:00. It's really fun to be there by myself that early in the morning, brewing the coffee and chatting to the sleepy looking customers. :-)
Today I brought a small container of Tofutti cream cheese to work so I can eat breakfast there. I'm normally not hungry until around 9:30 or 10 in the morning, so I don't eat before I leave for work. My boss gives me a short break around this time. Normally I eat a granola bar and a piece of fruit, but I realized that if I brought some Tofutti I could treat myself to one of our yummy bagels. As I was eating my breakfast today, a customer goes to me "That looks good! You don't sell that kind of cream cheese, do you?" (It was the garlic and herb Tofutti).
"No," I replied, "It's Tofutti non-dairy cream cheese. Garlic and Herb style. I don't eat dairy.
"Oh!" said the customer, "Are you allergic?"
"No," I replied, "Vegan."
We then had a breif conversation about what a vegan is and why I am one. Maybe I planted some seeds in her mind. She's a regular, so it should be fun to get her into conversations about it occasionally.
In other news, I got a callback for Into The Woods for the part of Little Red Riding Hood, which is the one I want. Everyone cross your fingers for me! The audition is on Sunday!!! :-D I was so happy, that I treated myself to an Alternative Baking Company Chocolate Chip cookie. if you've never tried their stuff, you should. www.alternativebakingcompany.com
