Okay
Okay
They gave me opportunities to work! They also let me try new things. They could work on letting me get a chance to challenge myself to a new task at the sewing department. Steve was a fun guy. He made me laugh out loud. He was such a riot. Sometimes, he was a pretty good singer. He was good at break dancing. Douglas Center had a very excellent picnic. We had fun and games. The food they served us during events was pretty good. Deli was very good overall. I didn't order deli very much in the beginning. They were generous and friendly. Sometimes they let me off the hook. They also let me have community access to go from there to my home.
