Andrea worked at a bakery restaurant under the convention hotel. At first it was fine, waiting on the convention ears. But then you start to dread them. I mean, absolutely, you're like, "No, none of that convention." They just flipped me out. I was just listening and watching them. I'm getting them their croissants and their coffee. Fact is, when people are together with others of their own kind, they act differently. They just, this thing happens. I mean, you're so focused into this one aspect of your life that you just sort of become, that you just absorbed into that whole facet of your life. You become that facet of your life. You become that facet of your life, yeah. If one Mary Kay saleswoman walks up to your bakery counter, you don't think twice about it. The 90 of them, that's something completely different. And so there's this excitement that they're really bubbly, and they've got all this bright colored makeup on, you know, pinks, blues, just, you know-- Of course, because they're the convention with their peers, so they have to impress each other. It's not even like-- Oh, yeah. It's not like they're undercover. We can go to the convention and not wear makeup. I mean, they were just made up to the 90s. I mean, it was crazy. So I'm just looking at them and lying. I've never seen more makeup in my entire life. But they were just covered, and just the most awkward-- I mean, everything looked like it was a mistake. Just the most awkward, strange colors and just things I would describe. Oh, Andrea, that just goes to show how far from the light you are, just how far you are from the Mary Kay way. I know. Math teacher is made up to doing nervous, because math is my nemesis. I'm awful at math, and I thought, OK, you know, you're working at the baking counter. They can't hurt you. They're not going to quiz you. You're not going to have algebra, you know? No. They get-- you know, I tell them their amount, and they give me their money, and I'm saying they're trying to figure it out. And then all of a sudden, they're like, oh, wait, wait, let me give you, you know, five cents, and then you can give me this back. You know? And by the end of the day, my drawer was totally off, because they just blow my mind at the last minute. And plus, I hate math. Then I'm getting-- like, really nervous. I'm like, I can't do this. I can't do this.
