waiting for the train
now because i was begging for a job to the late night hours, i only got to the station at 10.39pm. i know the time coz that's when i bought my ticket. got chatting with this guy and girl there. she had just got back from vegas and he had just picked up his new laptop and was moving to norway. i had stories to share about my job - even to complete strangers. anyway, the dude, E brought out a shedule and the girl, J and i figured it out. turned that last train had departed at 1030pm. so there we were at some obsure train station - stranded!
J decides we go to a bar. clever girl. so we saunter to the bawa. we stop at the buses to ask if there is any way we can get out of this town at 1120pm. the lovely bus driver lady, informs us of the no 22 which goes towards san francisco and goes ahead and gives us free bus passes. so we shelve the bar idea but J has another one up her sleeve. she brings out this bottle of vodka and says, "guys we need a chaser!" E, who had a bike, gets on his bike and dashes to nearest bar. he gets back, not with fruit juice but with cider - 6% cider to chase cheap vodka.
what the hell, it should do. J does the mixing. this girl knows her stuff pretty well. anyhoo, we start entertaining our poor souls before getting on the no 22. we move to the back of bus - we dont want to risk being chucked out for breaking state and federal law. 10 minutes into the bus, we decide to find out where exactly this bus is going. it turns out it's only going to palo alto - not even half way. J tells us it's cool. we'll get there in time for last drinks at ruby's - this girl knows her shee.
so we get to ruby's - no plan in mind and we have more than just last drinks. E is now totally trashed and is falling over. the blonde girl, blue eyes, thin as a rack, hijacks me at the bar and introducs herself - only thing is that i cant remember her name. anyhoo, she tells me that she went to college in chico which is the no 1 party college according to playboy magazine. wow, i really needed to know that. she is soooo drunk and is hitting on me like a love sick barbie. i eventually move on to my new found friends, have a toast to my new job beforebeing thrown out into the street.
no plan in mind, we decide to hijack a taxi while J gets on the phone and wakes up her friends. see who can pick us up!! we manage to put the bike into the trunk of the taxi and order the driver to drive towards san francisco. he's from east africa and so he complies. however, J has managed to get one old friend to pick us up from the freeway and so the taxi ride ends quickly. so, there we were, outside the four seasons hotel at 3am.
friend arrives. for the life of me i cant remember his name. i fall asleep the second i sit down. next thing i wake up and we're in SF. he drove us all the way there! E kindly let me sleep on his living room floor. so much for a new job!
