Yes! That's right. I am back in the grand D/FW area. I am back in my boyhood home (oh the horror) and I am gainfully employed in the service industry, once again.
On starting at this new restaurant, I feel as though I have entered some alternate universe. There are reincarnations of many of my favorite (and some not-so-favorite) people that I have worked with in the past. It seems that my Mercury days have come to recreate themselves. Waiter Jason has been recreated in an amalgum of two of my current co-workers. One insanely smart and aware of current goings on, the other funny in a big, dumb oaf sort of way. Sean is represented by someone who is his own mirror image. He has kids but no wife. Sean, of course, has had a wife (wives) but no kids. I wonder if alternate Sean wants a wife as badly as Sean wants kids. Jennifer's double is also named Jennifer. Though I don't think Jennifer was much of a singer. But then maybe new Jennifer isn't much into fashion design.
Other personalities abound and it is slightly disconcerting how many similarities there are. So, it is a nice return to the metroplex. I feel very much at home in my new surroundings. It's almost as though I never left. That comfort always makes change that much more bearable.
