i did this entry saturday but put it in the wrong place...
Let me just start with a HUGE thank you to Paige for letting me borrow her map of San Francisco. Without it I would most likely have ended up in a land far away (-:
It was quite a day yesterday. My 9am appointment canceled on me (meaning I have to somehow fit her in the coming week)so I went in to the office. Left oakland with plenty of time to get to my 11:30 appointment over by the Embarcadero. So far no problems. Then there's parking...25 cents for 6 min..are you kidding me??! I was there so early that I sat in my car for 30 min, looking out for the crazy meter maid. I paid my $2 and went to the building. Note to self...really need to get that confirmation! I go in to this amazing office. The receptionist is calling and paging this woman but can't find her. Another woman comes downstairs and lets me know that my contact "is no longer with the organization"-ah! FIRED! I try and pitch the walk in a half-assed way, but she doesn't take. Great. I have 30 min left in the meter. I walk around sf, but there were no shops to go in to. However, there were about 50 starbucks. I tried the new pumpkin spice latte- yum! Anyway, I started to try and find my way to my next appointment. I hate when Yahoo gives you the wrong exit name (yeah there is no exit called 8th ave/street). I ended up doing two loops, twice getting on the bay bridge (thankfully I got off BOTH times at Treasure Island). After driving around for an hour, I found the lady's office. She barely said two words to me. Grabbed the bag and went to a meeting-awesome )-:
I had about 2 hours to kill before my next appointment to i took Paige's advice and went shopping. I wanted to park in that lot that we used for the breakfast, but I kept missing the entrance! I must have gone around the block 3x before I made it in (can you tell I'm horrible with directions???). Ended up only walking around for about an hour. Went to my last appointment where I thought I was going to meet this enthusiastic and fun woman, only she was anything but. She seems like she's going to flake out at the last minute. I'm going to have to baby her.
Anyway, that was my day. Got home around 6:15 thanks to SF traffic. I miss you all! I am soo happy that it's Saturday
