          The shift coordinator for the women was a sweet cheerful lady with a twinkly smile and she took time to talk to me and wasn’t discouraged by the fact that she didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak Spanish.  She was not in the least bit intimidating and we had a good chat.  I understood some of her Spanish and we expanded my vocabulary a little.  She could say a couple of words in English, so with arm and hand motions, facial expressions, and exaggerated pronunciation, we did great.  She told me to bring papel` (paper) y una pluma (and a pen) next miercoles (Wednesday) and we would “practicar el espanol” again.   She helped make it a great day--even after being on my feet for way too long!
