Saturday
I got up extra early and went to San Francisco for my Saturday overtime day. I arrived at 6AM or so. Margaret and I went to a Chinese bakery. I love those little egg custard pies. We worked from 7AM until 3PM. The time actually moved along pretty fast. The hard part was the realization that it was such a beautiful day. It doesn’t matter because both of my bicycles need to go in to the shop ASAP.
After work I met a 3:30PM appointment at New Look. It cost me twenty-five dollars for this haircut. The guy did an okay job but there doesn’t look like much of a cut. What the hell…what a rip-off.
When I arrived at my parked car I had a little $3.25 envelope posted to my windshield. What a rip-off! I could have parked for free over on California Street.
After the overtime work day I went home to nap.
Denise Vinsonhaler called and invited me to go to Tiffany’s, a club in Contra Costa County. She actually talked me into going, too.
First, I went to ma and pa’s for a bite.
When I arrived at Tiffany’s in Walnut Creek at around 9:30PM I was disappointed. It cost me a six dollars entrance fee just to get into this club. I ordered water to start and they charged me twenty-five cents for the water! Unbelievable. What a rip-off! Denise was not even in the club. I left at 11:20PM. I came home; JO’d and fell asleep quickly.
