Saturday and not doing much of anything. A bit of a hangover from last night. I think I had six pints over the course of a few hours and went to bed at 11:00 soon after Bill came home. Slept ok, just a few feet behind the rest of the world today. Woke up around 8:30 this morning, had some coffee, took a shower then went out and got a haircut. The guys in Mr. L’s were talking about Imus and the sorry state of affairs the world is in right now. Well, actually it was all about Imus.

I thought about chiming in about how Rush Limbaugh should be next, followed by Michael Savage et al., but instead I kept my mouth shut, after all I only had one cup of coffee. Tony did an excellent job, also trimmed my goatee, nose and ear hair as well as my eyebrows. And it’s definitely better than the Jean Seberg do I had last month. After that I walked up to Washington Street, got my bagels then to the supermarket, walking like a robot due to the hangover and not enough coffee. Luckily I didn’t have to communicate with anyone after the haircut until I got home where Bill was up and about doing his ‘Bill’ thing.

Had a nice breakfast, Bill puttering around, then he was off to his vocal classes. I did the laundry and sat around reading the papers. Took a short walk around Hoboken, talked to Julio on the phone and took a nap. I also watched Bill Maher’s rebroadcast from last night and it was very good. Bill Bradley, Dana Carvey and Scott McClellan former press officer for the White House Bush regime. Of course McClellan towed the Bush junta line and Bill Bradley shot him down most every time. I wonder why Bradley doesn’t attempt another White House run? Dana Carvey was a borderline idiot breaking into schtick and impersonations of Bush every chance he could get.

And then I napped. Haven’t napped in a few weeks and it was really only for a few minutes, maybe twenty. I watched a dreadful dvd called Circuit which I read a decent review in the New York Times about the party circuit in gay circles. Oh man it was bad soft core porn with wooden acting and flaccid cocks. Lost interest after the lead character tried his first drugs after years on the police force. Oh it was bad. Immediately I put it back in the Netflix envelope, knowing that I would be able to get rid of it soon enough.

Then I watched Stranger Than Fiction starring Will Farrell, Emma Thompson, Dustin Hoffman and Maggie Gyllenhaal. It was ok. Not the bees knees. It was like the movie didn’t know what type of movie it wanted to be. No need to watch it a second time. Despite the prevalence of buses I don’t think I’m recommending it to Bill due to the fact that I’m returning it tomorrow and don’t want to watch it again.

Tomorrow a Nor’ Easter is expected. Whee!

Well as Juan said it was my swan song. Though at first I didn’t think I knew what he was talking about and I wasn’t sure if he knew what he was talking about but he did. It was my last day at Golden Staffing and it was even more of a waste of time that the previous days this week. The day started out ok, nothing special, just coffee, no cereal and then it was off to the bus. I got to the office and no one was in yet, I was the first. Last time I’d be using the office key as I opened the door and walked in turning on various lights and machines.

About 30 minutes later people started coming in. President Naomi was out today and I knew that after giving her a good bye hug the day before as I was leaving. I have no hard feelings and I don’t think they do either. I really made a good impression and did quite a bit in that office for the 3 months that I’ve been there and they were all impressed, but I couldn’t stay there. It was too limiting and not enough challenges and if I was feeling that after 3 months how would it be after 6 months? After a year? No I did the right thing and left while the getting was good.

It wasn’t as teary eyed as it was when I left Wanker Banker and it wasn’t as bitter as it was when I left McMann and Tate, but it was nice. I did buy cupcakes yesterday which was a nice touch I think. No cupcakes today, I did have Tuck sitting next to me. Tuck was the temp who worked the front desk when I initially came in for the interview in December. He was also the guy I suggested to replace me since he is also an actor between acting jobs and he knew everyone and everyone liked him. And since he sat next to me throughout the day I had nothing to do since it was best for him to get better acclimated to the front desk which had changed since January.

Wally was a bit upset that nothing was really being done so I did find something for me to do which was all about cleaning out the desk, throwing various memos out that were there since before I was even there. I did go outside a lot more today, just to get away from the office. That was nice, I said good bye to the guy who makes my salads each day and said good bye to the cashier. They wouldn’t notice either way if I never showed up again but the closure helped me out.

After work Wally, Cynthia, Ron, Jack and Tuck took me out for drinks at Figaro a restaurant in the building. I had a few pints, maybe four or five. We hung out and talked around the table and I conceded to myself that I had Wally totally figured out all wrong. He’s actually a funny guy and probably had a few of the same experiences I had in the past. We ran down a list of a few clubs that we both had used to go to in the past and we basically had gone to the same spots. After an hour or two we all had had enough and it was time to go, hugs and handshakes all around and promises to stay in touch with a mention of that if it didn’t work out with where I’m going I could always come back. Thanks, but no thanks.
