It’s a holiday so dining services is off tonight, and giving out sack suppers in the morning. At 8:30 I went to the dining room and picked up a salad and a cookie for supper. The plan is for the 6th floor to share pizza, but if you want a salad or a drink or whatever, pick it up from the kitchen in the morning.
With that done I went back down and met Joanne and we went for a walk. Bought a couple of things at Trader Joe’s, then had a coffee and a chat. We needed to plan tomorrow night: we are signed up for a reception at the Computer History Museum at 6, so we needed to figure out how to work in supper ahead of that.
Joanne had the car for a lunch date with her friends, so after lunch I hopped the #21 bus down to FOPAL. The #21 runs direct from Channing House to a block from FOPAL. And with my senior Clipper Card, the ride is only $1.
I found a mass of boxes, at least 10. I processed 6 of them, then caught the #21 back home.
At 5:30 I met the pizza guy at the front door and carried them up to 6 where 10 or 11 of us crowded around the table in our floor dining room and gossiped and had pizza. Everybody paid $15 which ended up about $40 more than I had spent, so the excess went into the 6th floor petty cash fund. That still left $120 for me which I stashed in my desk, along with the wad of cash remaining from the last time I bought pizza. Problem is, I almost never spend cash for anything, I always pay with my phone.
