Yes, all hail the Golden State!
Anyway, got a phone call that woke me up this morning, surprisingly it wasn't from someone who wanted my money, but a call to set up an interview (first one I've gotten since I started my freeloading lifestyle). It's for a season third-shift position, but that means I wouldn't have to deal with customers, and if I had it I wouldn't become a homeless person. Of course it's only an interview, but this chance to snatch an eleventh hour victory has certainly lifted my spirits. Gonna stay clean till I am sure about employment situation one way or the other.
So this evening I got some coffee, lemon cake, and a cigar, which I enjoyed at a table shielded from the rain. It was still rather cold, I still quite enjoyed myself, if only I still did opiates, that warmth would have made it a perfect evening.
