Security

There are two security guards that work in my apartment building. One is a total asshole--always grumpy, never smiles, and yells at me whenever I bring my recycling to the separation bins (apparently there's something about being white that implies I won't know how to separate glass from plastic from paper....).

But the other security guard is awesome! He's my guy. I always say hello to him when I see him. In the morning, he always asks me questions like "have you eaten dog yet?" or "have you been to the mountains?" The last few mornings, I've left without buttoning up my coat, and he always stops me to tell me to button my coat so I stay warm. He stands there with his arms crossed until I button up, then he says "ok!" and tells me to go to work. He also always asks me when I will be home in the evening. When I see him at night and I am with friends, he asks if they are people I know or if they are strangers. When I bring my recycling out, he asks me if I am drinking milk because I never have any milk cartons (I am drinking milk, but I drink it at school...don't worry Mom!). So yeah, he's my guy. I really appreciate that he looks out for me. It's nice. It's really cute too! Here's a picture of him. He didn't want to have his hat on--I think he thought it would be disrespectful or something.
