friday is my only 9-5 day of the week (the plight of the underemployed)… but still there are certain rituals attached to it. Like when I arrive, I always say to the very nice woman who always sits at the front desk, “hi, how are you doing?” And she always answers, “great! how are you?” And I always respond, “pretty good.” And she then she always responds “Right on!” But in a muted tone.

I wonder if she realizes how much i take that “right on!” to heart. It’s always my mantra to get me through the day. Some day I will have to think of a way to thank her.

Along the bus ride to work, there was a line of people outside the Apple Store, winding around the building. I could not tell how long this line was… it must have stretched for miles. Lots of trucks from TV stations. I guess the new iPhone is out. It amazes me that so many people can afford anything..
