Making Arrangements

Twenty-five years ago today:

July 31, 1986
Thursday

I hope I am accepted at Stanford. That would be ideal. It’s just such a long process that it’s kind of a drag. The forms and waiting is nerve racking.

Some fat elderly lady I’d never noticed complimented me yesterday morning in the cafeteria.
She said, “I like your hair better that way.”
I had used a blow dryer and added mousse to make it stay in place. That was all I did.

I had Jeff (a new guy in the office) sit with me today. He’s pretty nice. He grew up in San Diego. He’s kind of geeky looking though. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a minor in Creative Writing. We got to talking about Creative Writing. That was interesting.
It was one hell of a busy day today. The phone was ringing off the hook.

I called Rosalyn from TEL-PLUS. They have a position for me in Field Sales. Now that it has been presented to me I am not so sure I am interested. She didn’t even mention salary. Perhaps I am better off waiting patiently for Pac Bell DIRECTORY Sales positions. She gave me a telephone number to call in Foster City, CA on Monday. I may not call. I may just try to invest in myself with more education.

Margaret was resting today after her car accident ordeal.

I went home and saw Sherri and Ashley after my one-hour bike ride. Ash was happy to see me.
“Uncle Mike, I want to go bye-bye with you,” Ashley said clearly.
That was so cute to hear her call me Uncle Mike on the phone earlier today, too.

Ron Leoni telephoned.
“You know, Ron, we arrive in New York on August 16th at 4:30PM.”
“Okay, I’m making arrangements for us.”
It sounds like we’ll have a lot of fun.

The INTERNATIONAL MALE guy telephoned me to say he was going to order another dumbbell weight for me. I still need to call him today to find out why mine doesn’t have the black rubber molding. Why do I order things by catalog and have to deal with a mess like this?

Sherri informed me of an Alameda for the Parks RUNNING Event on August 10th. I telephoned Mark Landreth about it. We’re going to do it since it’s only a 10K run. It’ll be a breeze for the two of us.

It looks like our strike may last for a good month. This will be fine with me. I don’t mind that time span at all. In fact—in a strange way--I’m looking forward to it.

I have decided to not follow-up and call TEL-PLUS in Foster City. If they really want me they’ll call me again.

I made arrangements to pick-up Margaret Lai and her son, Lance, on Saturday morning. We are going on a picnic to ANGEL ISLAND.
