#1 I took a valet-parking job to shake off my college-loan laziness. I was not good enough for the job, as I had to turn in all my tips. I imagined I'd get off the first night with a pocketful of ones to take to the French Quarter, but in reality, all the tips were pooled and handed out by the shift boss.

#2 I was hired as a parker at the River Hotel, a hotel connected to a brand known for luxury, but still under construction. I was paid well, and no one said the word valet yet.

#3 The hotel employees were extremely excited about the grand opening. They were let into the hotel one department after the other, and they all had huge, sincerely positive smiles on their faces.

#4 The opening ceremony was when the hotel staff got to know each other. It was also when I realized that my life of constant relocation had led me to this nexus of relocation: the palace of the temporal where I could stand still and feel grounded.
