Somewhere in Venice, June 2008

I have returned home from my trip and am going back to work. I am working at this place that used to be a 7-11, and when I arrive Liz is just finishing her shift. I am getting filled out on what happened when I was gone by my replacement and she is showing me all this paper work, with all these catagories for different interactions with people and equipment. As she is talking to me I see that Naum and Marco and Edmundo are leaving and I catch their gaze. They all are looking at me with this grin, something along the lines of liking me as a worker, but knowing that I have opportunities that they do not, like going on vacation. Eventually I just atart working though there is not much to do-I just am cleaning off shelves and straightening things up, wondering what it is that I am really doing.
