i thought the numbers of people that i would see and know at fred's would start dwindling, but no.

today i had three people i knew.

asia. from blimpies. way back in the day. works at some real estate company on mercer island. her brother used to work there too. i guess he's a bum now and always pimping his shit at tiki bob's cuz he knows the bouncer.

second. randy. air's little bro. came through my line bowling with salt containers. chatted about how homelife is, etc, etc.

third was paola. a chic from high school. i always admired her cuz she lived in argentina for a while and seemed to be pretty fluent in spanish. she didn't say anything at all when i was helping her, and just as she was about to leave, i said it, "you look familiar". kinda bitter like i didn't know from where i knew her, she was like, "yeah, we went to school together".
so i asked, "it's paola, right?" to which her total body language changed and it seemed like she was now delighted to see me. but...
too late.
your time is up.
next person.
