I’ll start with the background and physical descriptions, but feel free to skip to “XXX” if you’re the type of person who likes to build their own characters.
In May I graduated college, and while I look for a “real job,” I’ve returned home to the local car-wash that I work at over the summer. It’s a pretty crummy job, but relative to what is expected of me, the pay is very good. (You’d be surprised how quick $1 tips can add up when you’re drying off cars on a busy day.)
Anyway, a few months prior to graduating, I broke up with my girlfriend so that I could get one last taste of single college life before entering the real world, where Friday nights were unlikely to devolve into Roman bath orgies. It was definitely a good idea, and if I find the time I’ll be sure to post about all the friends I made at the *Thermae*. As for right now, however, my breakup is only relevant in that for the first summer since getting hired, I was single.
