FLASHBACK SPECIAL: Day Runner Notes, February, 1998

We continue:

February

4 - Swapped out MAG monitor with Gateway 2000 from John for $100. I had a nice MAG monitor (CRT, of course, this is before LCDs) and I was planning on selling my PC but wanted the most buck for it so I convinced John (at great pains) to buy my MAG for a cheaper Gateway 2000 (remember when they were known by that name?) in trade and a hundred bucks.

5 - Sold Mildred VI to Wayne for $650. Pay to CORE last payment on fees. Yes Mildred VI an Intel Pentium I MMX 120MhZ 32MB RAM. In case you aren't familiar, here's a post where I detail my PC naming convention. For context, I'm typing this post using my latest PC, my HP laptop named Mildred XV, nine computers later. CORE was the probation agency which I had back late fees to pay.

7 - Out to Gregg's in Warwick with Wayne. This was a family style restaurant Wayne worked at part-time server in addition to his full-time job at Blackstone Valley.

8 - Leave RI, 9am. Arrive Weldon, NC 8pm. What? What caused the change of heart? A number of things, see here for details.

9 - Arrive Orlando @ 7p,m.

10 - (Arrow right) 50, bal: 260. Paid out $50 for my first week's rent to Claudia. She would have waited 'till I started making income but I wanted to be fair and square with her. I was so appreciative to have a place to stay. bal: 260 is what cash I had left.

11 - Start back @ DM Orlando. Yep. Back to DialAmerica. This time, I was on a mission. I was determined to do my hours, make money and eventually get promoted to management. I was tired of being dirt broke and nearly homeless.

16 - Out to Southern. Latin Nite. Met Michael, latino, a bit chunky, waxy hair. I remember this guy was one of those Last Call hook-ups. The lights came on for last call and everyone who hasn't found a "date" starts scanning the smoky room looking for Mr. Right. Er, I mean, Right Now.

Much of the rest of the notes each day detail what I was making in sales and commission as well as what I spent. Then adding daily weight, exercise and drinking totals as the month proceeded into March. I was on a mission. For instance, in tabulating one shift's earnings I noted this for the 18th: DM 4:30 -10, 44 (in a box) $106? Which means: Worked 5.5 hours, made 44 sales, earned estimated $106 commissions, works out to $19.27 per hour. Yikes! Maybe I should go back into telemarketing?

25 - Out to Wylde's/Roman's. Met Evan, slept w/him. Thin, cute, young, large curvy dick w/ a wart. Ya, I can be a detailed freakin' bitch! Funny story regarding this night: Chris drove us home in his Chrysler Lebaron while Evan and I sat in the back seat to make out. Cops pull up behind us, turn on their flashers and give us a burst of their sirens. We break our suck-face session, look back at them and they blare out on their loudspeaker "Passengers must NOT block the rearview window!" Fuckers! They saw two guys kissing and got all perturbed. Fine with me. Instead of going back to kissing, I unzipped Evan's fly, took out that weird looking cock and went down on him right there. Too bad the cops couldn't see us doing that!
