The Clarity That Comes From A Dirty Martini Is Blinding

This is the first transmission from my fully armed and operational macbook, and lemme tell ya, the cable guy was hawt. Northwest hawt, but hawt nonetheless. Closely cropped hair, shades of a goatee, native complexion with just a hint of an accent. He sat on the floor and played with his cords and tools, and I sat next to him and put together my new Hol from IKEA. You can sorta see it in the picture. It is the latice-y looking trunk. Milo likes to sit on it and look out the window.

Cable guy was shocked that I would move from Los Angeles, but I told him all of this has happened before and will happen again. He was also surprised to learn that TimeWarner purchased Comcast. He started to frantically make calls trying to confirm my news of his impending lay-off. I think I spoiled the foreplay. Oh well! Another time another place.

Yesterday I returned the Raptor, and it was an experience I want to wait a long time to duplicate. There was a long line and there were only two people working. I suspect these two people had parents who were sibs. I snapped at the General Manager. I'm not sure what her name was, but I'm sure it was Barb. It has to be Barb. She could not accept a 20 dollar bill from the guy next to me because she could not make change. She needed 40 cents, and she was very rude about it. The guy had waited so long for his five boxes, and was ready to slink away with four when I jumped in with the 40 cents. I told Barb she was out of her mind, and she snapped at me "I DON'T HAVE CHANGE!" I don't have to tell you my response, but following it, the entire store went silent, and the appreciative man, who works at Firestone, offered me a free oil change. I don't have a car, but Anonymous Dan can use it.

Recoiling from that encounter I sat in the courtyard and contemplated pruning, but thought to postpone that chore until today. I have a job interview today. I have no idea how or where that came from, but this morning will involve shaving, pressing a shirt, picking out a tie, and all those interview things. I will let you know how it goes. The pruning and the interview.

Toodles.
