Sophisticated Lady

Rachelle Davies said, “I’m getting a white convertible Mustang in a couple of months. I’m so excited!”
I thought, “What a teeny-bopper!”
I should have told her about my JAGUAR—but no. I will not mention it until I have it (by December 1987…maybe).

The parking lot situation in San Francisco is becoming a pain. I parked in a $2.50 lot that is closer to the freeway entrance but I just hope there’s not a horrible traffic jam near there at five o’clock. If it works out I will park there all of the time. I just hate the fact that the car spaces are so small. It’s crazy how Cadillacs, Campers and Semi-Trucks park here, too. Shit!

Let’s see…what are my other options if the Copy Service Artist position is a ‘no go’? Pac Tel Info Systems has openings for selling equipment in San Leandro. There’s the modeling for Steph’s agency idea. There’s always Art School. Time will tell.

I arrived at my little $2.50 parking lot and was so happy that there were spaces available.

Donna called me and my interview is on for April 14th. It’s a Monday and it’s for the Copy Service Artist job. I hope they feel I am good enough. I feel I am ready now. I know I can do the job if I just get the chance. I told my boss, Stephanie Bautista, about it.
Stephanie said, “Michael, I think you’ll get it.”
I am still skeptical. It’s probably because I am my own worst critic of my own work. Amy says my best piece is the ‘Sophisticated Lady’. I think it’s good but I think my other pieces are pretty good, too.
Mom says, “Shoot, it’s all good!”
I’m going to ask Steph Redding’s opinion this coming Saturday. I’m going up to go horseback riding. I still have two more weekends to work on more art-related pieces to include in the portfolio.

I went to the gym after work and I didn’t stay very long. I did get a decent work out. Christine Davidson was there. She’s still a tad heavy. I’m glad she’s going to the gym. There was no sign of Mark Landreth. I left and went home and designed a few graphics. It was soon time for bed.

Chad still crosses my mind every once in a while. Then Rachelle crosses my mind. Amy is a sweetheart. I appreciate her but time will tell where we are concerned.

I am kind of excited about my interview on April 14th. I am a bit scared, too. I hope I am chosen. I’d be so good at it. I’d even go back to school and get more intrigued with art and graphics.
Margaret Lai may be having a Tupperware party. She wants me to attend.

Salima is having a baby shower. I was invited. I may make a brief appearance. She’s so sweet.

I’m ready for my Friday night dinner at Karen Craven’s apartment in Walnut Creek. Yum.

I drove Pearl (the new girl in our section) to her house. She happens to live in Alameda on Broadway. It just happens to be the route I take, so I didn’t mind.
