Singer on Market St.
Today’s been a bit random. On my way downtown the N trains were stacked four deep waiting at the tunnel at Duboce and Church, so I ran to Market to catch the F. There the Internet came to life and I looked up from my phone and saw one of my favorite tumblrs in the crowded car, miss-she! It’s nice when people from the Internet turn out to be so pleasant in real life. Definitely took the punch out of my frustration with the MUNI, which somehow knows when I have to be somewhere on time…
That place was the Flood Building. Very 1940s vibe inside. Went there for a background check and fingerprinting so I can teach in Singapore. In a week. So I’m going to Singapore! In three days. I’ve never really left the country except for Canada, which I’m told doesn’t count, even though it’s the reason I have a passport. I guess it says something about my life when I can flee the country on 72 hours notice.
