The number 4 bus
Jonny was riding buses again today. He went to Wendy's. He called Laurence but their schedules didn't work out so they could have lunch together. Richard Ziman called just now. He got his old job back with Thompson Corporation. They bought the company he used to work for but to make it less searchable Jonny is just mentioning the parent company. He is up to page 280 of Union Prayer. He is going to get paid at least $15 a week for the grass watering. Jonny just called Andrew the gardener. Jonny's family is going on vacation so he can't water those days. He also sent Wendell Pierce a birthday card from one of those e-card web sites. Jonny probably won't call him on his birthday. His dad is turning 62. Lorraine Bracco has a birthday this month too. She will be turning 10. It took around 10 years for Jonny's salary to double from the straight job from 27k to 54k. And passing 50k was a big milestone. He desperately wanted to make the goal of 100k. But now that would be more like 133k adjusted for inflation. Only 133 doesn't sound as nice. Angelina just called. She has lots of work for Jonny to do. Jonny is down to 145 pounds. She dropped him off at the bus stop today. Then he rode the bus to work. Then he rode the bus to Wendy's from Hotel California. He was heading to Hollywood. Jonny figured he could eat in 15 min and catch the next bus. But he missed it. So he walked 2 blocks to State Street, 5 more blocks to Main Street and then 4 more blocks to 3rd street. Now he has to walk a mile to catch the #5 bus to get back to Packard and Stadium and home. The steam cleaner broke last night again. It was never working for more than a few minutes. Angelina takes it in, the guy says it is clogged. It works again. Jonny uses it, he cleans it, Jonny puts it away and then it work for a few minutes the next time. Then Angelina takes it back. They fix it again for free. This time, Jonny took it apart. It might be time to ditch it.
