Monday Monday

So the rain abated a little today, in that I did not walk to work in the rain! Which was nice. It pretty much rained all weekend, with high winds. Scaffolding down, trees down, flash flood warnings etc – but no climate change…

At the bus stop today, the regular homeless man was playing War – Slippin into Darkness, it felt pretty apt.

Work though is okay, I am warm, dry and clean bathrooms, less people yell at me than the record store, and I get paid more.

Is it worth it? Sometimes I just don’t know. I like selling records, more than people can imagine. I enjoy learning about music, I like interacting with customers and I miss it a lot still. But, I still dream about refiling soul CDs or worse used Rock CDs. Or my biggest nightmare 7″s.

I still find myself filing things at other stores, and cleaning up records misfiled or upside down…it is a problem. The fun thing about Tucson, AZ was record shopping. I found some cool 80’s 7″s and a few records, but just looking makes me happy.

So today I thought my bus driver was training for le petit le mans – zooming up the hills here in SF, and squealing around corners, pretty exciting.

Also today is not national bubble bath day, like I thought, it is the 8th of January. Woops. Though other important things I am sure are happening today: national whipped cream day and national bird day, weird made up days for everything always make me happy.

It is sunny here today, a rarity in the last two months it feels like, though a great storm is predicted, lots of rain, and maybe even flooding, I might be making a grocery store run 🙂

2017

I can’t think of a catchy title for my post.

Back at work in SF today, and it is gray and cold and rainy. Not awful though, just not happy, happy joy joy. Today at work was a lot of cleaning up and tracking people down and setting up meetings and dealing with things to happen.

I did get confirmed as a volunteer at the Edwardian Ball happening here in two weeks or so. I had better get Adam to send me a dress to wear, and stuff. I am mainly volunteering to meet people, and maybe change my SF mindset a bit, as I find it unfriendly here.

I also signed up to go to a book event – Tim Ferris, and maybe a movie screening for libraian’s if I get accepted. I am trying to get out more here. I miss my friends a great deal, and nothing can replace the sense of community I have in ATL, but while living and working here, I need to be more proactive.

Next month – after the rush – I am joining a gym, yoga, pilates and barre! It is very fancy, but hopefully the price will make me go more. This is when I miss Jessica, she is a great gym partner, I could never slack off.
