Always On My Mind

I have no desire to meet people. I've met too many as it is, and the frequency with which certain types repeat themselves is an old story to me.

There is this song by the Pet Shop Boys that I still love today. It is called 'ALWAYS ON MY MIND'.

I loved the video that I found to go with it. I had never seen it before. Great tune and visuals!

Twenty-five years ago today:

October 2, 1984
Tuesday

My second day in the Business Office and I have arranged for six access lines and six touch tone lines for one small business New Connect request. It was tiring and mind-boggling on this second day in a row of non-stop requests. The day goes by so quickly in San Francisco. It is somewhat more complicated, too. I have a feeling things will come together at some time or another. I look forward to that ‘comfort zone’ day.

For lunch, Bobbie went for yogurt at The Cookie Company. I went to The Health Food Store. The guy who works there always acts so friendly towards me. He winks at me a lot. He gave me the yogurt on his own tab today! He’s too cool.

“You better watch it, one of these days he’s gonna come on to you,” Bobbie said.
“Yeah, sure,” I laughed.
She meant that he would ask me out or something.

Bobbie and I ate lunch together outside of the Moscone Center. We discussed VIP early retirement. The ideas and dreams of our own business were also discussed.

I went to mom’s house after work for an early dinner. Then I stopped over John’s place and watched him feed Ashley sweet mashed potatoes for a while. I watched a bit of the baseball game he had on TV along with some music videos on MTV.

Now I am home, getting ready to watch some 9PM movie starring Yvette Mimieux. I think I will call Bobbie because she makes me laugh. Karyn didn’t talk to me very much today. She won the election as one of the Board Members for the office. Everyone won that I voted for except for Patty Reid.

Bobbie was not home when I called her. I left a voice mail message on her answering recorder. I made a point of saying Miss versus Mrs. She claims I called her Mrs. Renbarger yesterday. It seemed to annoy her.

Ryan Hargrave, Elizabeth Center, Karyn Kossoff and a few others often come by my desk to ask how I am doing. They are ever so kind to me.

Ethel, my Assistant Manager, really likes me, too. After she learned that I had a clean slate on my Attendance record I scored extra points.
