Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi met on Joey's first day of work. He was an Italian Immigrant fresh of the boats, and she had been brought up in a fairly well to do suburban family. They couldn't have come from two more opposite backgrounds. This was both their first job but Marian had been working for a few weeks already and at least had a slight grasp on what was going on in the company. Being the newbie she had been assigned to teach young Joey the ropes. Young being a poor choice of words seeing as how they were both 16, but Marian felt she was the seasoned veteran and in turn deserved some added respect.
"Hey Young Blood" Marian hollered, "Over here"
"The Names Marian"
"Joey", "It's nice to meet ya", He said tentatively, still not fully confident with his new language and also a bit shy when being greeted with a sea of new faces.
Marian proceeded to show Joey how to properly stock the shelves at the grocery store, and show him where everything was so he could help costumers find everything they needed. By the end of the day the two had become good friends and would sometimes even meet up after work to walk home together.
