So I am sitting in Mellon Square again, it is my post work relaxation
period and I just can't get a bead on how I feel. Just kind of blah,
where being sad would be easier than being happy. There isn't alot to
be sad about though, I hit up the new Crazy Mocha this morning, getting a
mocha latte, and while the barista was not Ruby, this girl was good in
her own right. She even made a fern leaf out of the foam on top of my
latte.
I hit up hot dog guy today as well, getting a hot dog with spicy
mustard, relish and onions. He actually made it for me while I waited,
none of that getting an old dog off of the grill for me. Fresh meat,
yum! Heck even my mojo was still working somewhat today, I bought one
$5 scratch off ticket and pocketed $25. That should keep me from diving
into my bank account until well after I get paid this week. Which is
good, I want to put away some more money for the vacation I will never
take. Target goal is $2500. And I am a ways out from that number yet. I
suppose if I started dragging my ass into work a little earlier I could
make some extra coin, which would help the cause quite a bit. But like
this morning I woke up early to a pounding headache at 6:30 am,
so I laid back down hoping I could sleep it off somewhat, but that dull
thudding stayed with me all day. I keep aspirin in my desk, I popped
three of them and I was hoping the hot dog might help, I get headaches
when I haven't eaten recently, but as much as I like hot dog guy it
didn't help today.
Not that I am doing myself any favors by sitting downtown as opposed to
going to get something to eat, so I best get a move on in a homeward
direction. I can only sit in the park for so long before I either have
to go home or go back to work. I have a cigarette order waiting in my
email for me, so it doesn't matter which way I go, I will still be
working.
One of the gospel guys downtown is trying to "educate" me. Not Jesus on
a Stick guy, but someone who is represented by the same union, Sidewalk
Preachers Local 101. Save me Jeebus indeed.
Okay caught the bus just before my head was dunked in holy water or
something and managed to get back to Oakland, where I made a couple of
detours, first being to Szechuan express where I got a styrofoam
container filled with combo lo mien goodness, then I stopped by Uncle
Jimmy's after that and sat at the bar eating my food and washing it down
with a beer.
Eventually I made it home, placed the cigarette order that was in my
email, then I got a phone call from work. Asking about the court
hearing on Wednesday,
I nearly forgot about it, probably because I wasn't witness to anything
that happened. Apparently a couple of weeks ago we had someone in the
store who was trying to go to jail. He had already stolen one of those
fake vagina things from the porn shop upstairs, then he came down to our
store and asked us to call the police on him, then proceeded to try to
walk out the door with magazines he didn't pay for. Needless to say the
police were happy to oblige and took him away, now I get to go to a
court hearing on Wednesday. The joys of my job never cease.
Great, it is starting to rain and I am sitting outside again, hoping at
first to see some more meteors, but that will not happen tonight, the sky is way to cloudy. Good thing I didn't walk to the park tonight,
I am sitting outside my apartment. I see some flashes of lightning off
to the east now, and some breaks in the clouds overhead so maybe I will
catch a shooting star.
Oh well I should get back inside and try getting some sleep, it promises to be a long day tomorrow.

I really love what you've done with the place, Matt. Looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteI jokingly call the photo "my Stonehenge" because you can only get that shot maybe two days a year, where the sun comes up right over the sidewalk and isn't blocked out by the bridge directly above it in the distance. I am not gifted with a camera, but it was one of those shots that I really liked after I took it.
