Every guy I have every slept with, and we are way into double digits here, has come back for more.  Every single one!

I woke up at 6AM and I made it to Oakland by 7AM. The BOSS Overview Training began at 7:30AM. It was pretty boring. It was a true overview for me as I had some excess familiarity of it already.

I went down to the RASC floor and saw some familiar old faces from the Oakland RASC: Rose Rodarte, Pat Overshoun, Georgia Castleberry, Teri Milham, Jan Detar, Millie and then everyone else was more or less gone. My sister-in-law, Helen, had the day off.

I went to the POT BELLY DELI with Sandy Maggiori and some gal named Carol who works with Directory Support Sales Staff. Carol was pretty nice.

The BOSS Training was a breeze. In fact, I left early (at ten minutes before three o'clock) and made it to mom's to see her before she left for work. Ashley was there and Sherri came by to pick her up. They made a pit stop at my place because Sherri wanted to see Eileen Grabinsky's picture.

It was a disappointment to receive only $6800 from my DEAN WITTER & CO. Account. I was expecting closer to $8000. I guess after commission fees, bad timing and 'what not'. I came out with less than what I had initially invested. What a rip-off! I will try not to dwell on it. I will move forward and make the most of my current situation. I plan to save up now…from scratch.

I took a nap and woke at 5:45PM. I decided to forfeit the gym and go to Burlingame to see Eileen. I telephoned her and we made arrangements to see the movie "OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE". It was really good and funny. I enjoyed it.

Before picking up Eileen I went to the Hillsdale Shopping Mall and bought some M-Lotion by CLINIQUE as a moisturizer for my face that came highly recommended. I selected a couple of greeting cards and the 'Substance' music cassette by NEW ORDER (one of my favorite groups). I also bought a 4 x 6 frame for Eileen's photo.

I went inside Eileen's pad after the flick and we shared some intimate moments. I felt romantic…as corny as it sounds. The lighting was perfect and the view of the San Francisco City Lights added to the atmosphere. The only drawback was when Eileen spoke of her ex/ex, Dave, the one I saw at THE VORTEX.
Eileen revealed, "Yeah, so Dave has been calling me a lot lately."
She speaks highly of him. I think she keeps telling him that she doesn't want to go out with him anymore. It sounds like all is in my favor. I find that to be a good thing. We are going to have fun tomorrow. She is coming to Alameda. I do have to drive to Burlingame to pick her up though. Alas, it will be worth it. I enjoy her company.

The "OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE" movie was so much fun. I love the expressions that Bette Midler made in the film. She's funny. I especially enjoyed the desert scenes in Las Cruces, New Mexico when actress Shelly Long bulleted across the four mountainous fingers.

Shelly Long: Let me do the talking, every time you open your mouth foul language has a habit of coming out.
Bette Midler: That is a fucking lie.
