Today is Friday September 5th and I am okay it’s a Friday. I slept very well last night despite the fact that Bill was not home. I usually sleep better when he’s here or there but last night he was not and then I got through it on my own. Right now he is somewhere in New Jersey driving someone to somewhere and I am not at Liberty to say.
Had another good talk with Mike last night who is expressing his gratitude for all that I have done and all that Bill has done on his behalf. Good to hear and I can’t hear it often enough. I woke up with no difficulty though I would not have minded another hour to sleep. These four day work weeks if you know what I mean…next week is another 4-day work week since I am taking off on September 12th that holy day of obligation to myself.
Once again this morning I went to Bill’s favorite bagel joint in Hoboken and they’ve gotten better their consistently charging me $7 for a sandwich and that’s no problem and then I go to dunkin’ donuts on 14th Street on my way to work and they’re getting better no longer acting like the deer in the headlights.
I am in no hurry to go to the Dunkin’ Donuts / Baskin Robbins on 6th avenue since they were just so horrible last time telling me that I was showing them a screenshot of a QR code rather than the actual QR code despite the fact that I had to show them that it was not what they thought.
Work is awfully quiet but I suppose it is a good thing. I’m not complaining though interacting with Jimmy Chile and/or Marcus would be fine but neither one of them is around and I am solo.
Right now I am listening to the live album from Talking Heads called “The Name of this Band is Talking Heads”. Of course I bought it as soon as it came out back in the day in the ’80s on vinyl but due to space concerns for audio tracks on LPs a lot was left off so when it was released on CD I brought it immediately and I uploaded it and here it is with all the songs that should have been around in the first place.
There is a plan to go with Mike to see Bill’s performance in Postal Madness on Sunday afternoon which is the last performance and then back home after that Mike crashes for a few hours before he goes to work around 9:00.
Since I had gone to Bill’s favorite bagel joint in Hoboken and had a big sandwich as well as snacking intermittently afterwards I’m going to forgo lunch and just wait until dinner. Last night while sleeping I felt like my leg was about to cramp up and that’s probably because of not enough potassium in my system.
So I came to work and drank a can of coconut water which has the potassium I need. I was in the habit of drinking coconut water at least once a week but I have not done so in the past couple of weeks so of course leg cramps would pop up and hopefully I’ve taken care of that with no fears of cramping up tonight.
Gemini rewrite as a gossip column
***Hot off the Press! Your Friday Goss is Served!***
**Hoboken, NJ** — The gossip mill is churning as we get the scoop on a local Hobokenite’s dramatic Friday. Our source, who wished to remain anonymous, dished on the latest happenings, from a mystery man’s whereabouts to a certain someone’s solo bagel run.
Let’s dive right into the juiciest details, shall we? Our tipster began by revealing that they were flying solo last night, as their usual sleeping companion, a certain **Bill**, was mysteriously absent. We hear he was on a secret mission in New Jersey, chauffeuring someone to a hush-hush location. Who was it, Bill? The streets are talking! Despite his absence, our source claims they slept like a baby, a surprising twist in this cozy little drama.
In other news, our source had a heart-to-heart with a grateful gent named **Mike**, who couldn’t stop gushing about everything our source and Bill have done for him. It’s so lovely to see people show their appreciation, don’t you think? It just warms the heart!
We also hear that our source is coasting through these blissful four-day workweeks. With another one on the horizon, thanks to a self-proclaimed “holy day of obligation” on September 12th, they’re practically living the dream. We’re all a little jealous, to be honest.
Our source’s morning routine is just as intriguing. They hit up Bill’s favorite bagel spot in Hoboken, where they were charged a consistent $7 for a sandwich—a small price to pay for a delicious start to the day! A quick stop at the Dunkin’ on 14th Street also went off without a hitch, as the once-frazzled staff is finally getting their act together.
But not all coffee joints are created equal! Our source is steering clear of the Dunkin’/Baskin-Robbins on 6th Avenue after a truly horrifying experience. Apparently, a QR code caused a major scandal, with the staff insisting our source had a screenshot instead of the real deal. The nerve!
Work is a bit of a snoozefest, though. Our source is flying solo with co-workers **Jimmy Chile** and **Marcus** nowhere to be found. But with a killer soundtrack like the live Talking Heads album “The Name of this Band is Talking Heads,” who needs company? Our source is a true music aficionado, scooping up both the original vinyl and the CD version, just to get all the tracks that were left off the original release. Now that’s dedication!
The weekend promises more drama and intrigue! Our source and Mike are set to see Bill’s final performance in something called “Postal Madness” on Sunday afternoon. We’re not sure what that is, but we’re dying to find out! After the show, Mike is crashing for a few hours before heading to work, proving that even the best of friends need a little rest and relaxation.
Finally, we’ve got a health update! Our source skipped lunch to save room for dinner after an epic bagel-and-snack fest. And after a near-cramp incident, they’re downing coconut water to get their potassium fix. We hope it works!
That’s all the tea we have for now, but rest assured, we’ll be back next week with more scandalous scoops! Until then, keep your ears to the ground, and your lips sealed!
