Fearing intimacy I strive to be aloof,
Fearing subservience I strive to be dominant,
and if I fear being ordinary I try to be special.
-Tony Parsons
"As It Is"
Twenty-five years ago today:
June 4, 1984
Monday
It was a bit hard to get out of bed this morning. I managed to make it to work.
When I telephoned Chris Cordellos on my first break he was at his station for the month (Mess Hall).
“I put in my request for the time-off from August 15th until September 15th,” Chris said.
“Good for you!” I uttered impulsively. “You know you can move in with me if you want if your Walnut Creek house isn’t ready.”
“I don’t know,” Chris said but I had the gut-wrenching feeling that he did know.
His reasoning went on about how my folks might think ‘things’. I didn’t press the issue. I am better off living alone (I guess).
I only have four more weeks left at the Downtown Oakland Residence Accounting Service Center. Yes!
I telephoned David Vigil.
“The BSC training is difficult but I know you can handle it,” David said.
“Oh no, now I’m worried,” I declared.
“I’m sure you won’t have a problem. Just be sure you have your thinking cap prepared and turned on,” David concluded.
I chose not to ride my bike after work today. I simply ate and slept. I had three coffee ice-cream cones. The dessert guilt had me in the mood to exercise. First, I wrote Chris using that ‘Pink Cadillac’ card. Then I tried to work out on my love handle bars and tummy. My legs don’t need any additional efforts right now. They’re in good shape.
