Better day

Much better day today. For starters, I got out of the apartment. Several times in fact. I checked my NY unemployment card--money was deposited into my account. Yay. Best of all, the agency called me. I'm to return to my first assignment for an open ended gig. I'm to fill in for someone going on leave. I'll be in the Membership Department rather than Residuals. Not sure what exactly I'll be doing, but I'll be occupied 5 days a week for a little while, which is better than sitting at home surfing the net and applying for jobs, amongst other sundry duties. Best of all, I want to work at this place and this is a foot in the door. The agency told me that my supervisor on first gig recommended me to the Memberships Department, so I guess I made a good impression. Hopefully the work will be interesting, but pleasant.

I went to the vintage clothing/used clothing store on Fairfax in my quest to find a hat. No luck. Emile, my friend at the Kosher Newstand and fellow refugee from Michigan, suggested I try out a couple of places on Melrose near Martel. Looks like I've got places to go this weekend!

Had dinner with my friend John at Swingers Diner at Beverly and Laurel. Swingers is connected to the motel where I stayed last summer and this past December. I felt I've come full circle. I really do like the Fairfax, Grove and Miracle Mile areas of LA.
