2000 August 15 Tuesday

I like it when Angelo Light stops where I sit, for Angelo is the man with the money. He comes to pay today. At last, the long-awaited overtime check arrives. Once again, I realize this gig can't be about tips. I should be less serious.

After the reality check, I wake up to the fact that going home for Labor Day is but a fantasy.

I decide to start saving for France in Spring 2002.
