Hey Let me tell you a little about Jose, the Janitor at work. I've had the pleasure of having Jose work on my floor for the past two years. He cleans the bathrooms, collects trash from the cubicles, vacuums in the mornings, and keeps things in order in the maze of cubicles at work. He likes to pull out a picture of his son who has a degree and is married to an Asian girl. Jose is probably in his late 40's. He has a peppered grey mustache and beard with combed hair, and shoes always clean. He kind of looks like a younger version of the Dos equis man. The man has swag.  Besides the occasional exchange of Spanish with him and the impromptu English vocabulary lessons I give him, Jose is quite the fountain of fashion advice. 1st lesson learned: The first thing a woman looks at in a man, is not his eyes, his shirt, or hair. It is his shoes. (Imagine this being said in a light Spanish accent). So what does he give me the next day? A pair of extra black shoes he had that are actually pretty decent. Couple weeks later, he gives me this zip up track jacket. Couple weeks later, he gives me five pairs of jeans. Half of them are of pretty good quality. One pair of jeans is white. Two weeks ago, he gives me another five pairs of jeans. Haven't had the chance to try all these on yet. Eventually he implies what he wants. He just wants some thick socks from Costco. I plan to get him a pack soon. Today he sold me a pair of brown fubu shoes. And they're clean. Jose is kind of like personal clothing consultant. Pretty cool. |
