The first chapter is called "Wine O'Clock." This is part of Part One: Initiation. It starts with the author talking about walking hard and washing dishes. He ate some of the leftovers. The cook went around at 8 o'clock the hour before closing saying wine o'clock. He gave the author a drink. He drank it and continued to wash. A waitress asks him if he was really traveling place to place washing dish. He said she should come with. She said she had a boyfriend. The next day, he moved to a new place.
The next chapter is called "Maps." He talks about his childhood. He grew up in the ghetto. When a teacher asked him what he wanted to be, he said house painter. She got mad because others wanted to be something hard. He wanted a job that was easy. As a teen, he worked hard but had trouble in school. He wanted to get out of the ghetto so he applied for college. He was able to get financial aid because he was poor.
The next chapter is called "A Date with the Dishes." The college was in the suburbs. Everyone was rich except him. He went to college but didn't have a major. He also got a job to pay off the debt. He worked at a Jack in the Box. He realized if he was rude, he would get dish duty. He enjoyed it because it wasn't hard and you were alone. He dropped out. Then, moved and got a house painting job; however, he got fired for working too slow.
This book is interesting so far. I wish I could careless about the future like the author of this book.
