Jeff smiled as he looked over the counter as the man shouted order up.
It had been almost 6 months since he ended up here and he was just starting to get used to his new life.
He had come to terms with being thrown back in time even though he did not understand how it had happened to him.
One minute he was walking through the woods as a bright light hit him & then he found himself sitting in front of a dressing table with cold cream all over his face and his hair in curlers.
It took all his effort not to scream as he felt the panic welling up inside of him as he sat there staring at his new appearance with the strange feeling that he knew that face.
He looked around the room for clues to who he was surprised to find there was not even a laptop or a TV in his room just a bed a wardrobe, dressing table and a mirror and two wooden chairs.
He spend half an hour examining every inch of that room and was relieved when he found the woman's diary.
But he was a little bit confused by the calendar inside that stated it was 1952.
He found out his new name was Sandra Elizabeth Fredrickson.
He was now 21 years old.
He sat there reading everything about this girls life.
He was now living in Washington & worked at the laughing chef diner as a waitress.
At first he had trouble getting used to his new surroundings everything was so backwards to him.
He could not believe the attitude towards women in this time period.
He was getting paid less than the dish boy for doing twice as much work.
He could not open a bank account without a male relative as guarantor and it was not proper for a woman to be out late at night alone.
He quickly struck up a friendship with the other girl living in his lodging house.
Not just for companionship but for moral support and guidance.
But every day he spent there his mind started fitting into his new body and he started getting memories of this woman's life.
Like growing up on his family farm in Iowa.
All sorts of memories of his other life came flooding back like the first time he rode a horse or his mother explaining the fundamentals of life to him & the changes his body would go through.
The first time a boy asked him out to the county fair & how magical it was when he kissed him on the Ferris Wheel as far as he remembered he had grown up in this world.
But he also had memories of growing up as a man being born in the year 1983 living through the 90's and the millennium.
Which spurred him on to write a diary of things he remembered of the future.
Things he was sure was going to happen making sure to markdown which companies were going to make it big.
If he was going to be trapped in the past he was going to make sure he used his future knowledge to the best he could especially now he was a woman.
He didn't want to end up married to some guy pushing out a couple of kids and relying on him to be the breadwinner.
He was going to be a strong independent woman and one day the richest woman in the United States.
But for the moment he was stuck as a waitress something he did not like doing but there was little opportunity in this world for a mobile phone salesman.
Seeing they had not been invented yet.
But all he had to do was bite his time and save his money and not let this female bodies sexual urges get the best of him and end up married and pregnant and one day he would be back on top .
