Free Beer

Got a call this morning that was pretty unusual. It was to temp at ... NOT a law firm. To do some transcription and data entry. It's not in the Financial District, which presented a bit of difficulty for me, because the bus didn't come. I actually had to call and tell them I'd be a half hour late. If I were less poor, a taxi would have been called.

They were so happy to have help though, that they weren't upset that I was late. When I arrived I was given a tour. It was a company that is an expert witness in construction. I was introduced to every single person there (between 10 and 15 people) and told what each one does. I was shown the unisex bathroom, and noticed it had towels and a small rug. We walked into the kitchen, and the woman opened the refrigerator to show me that there was beer and soda I should help myself to.

Beer. Free beer. I am working at a place with free beer. Totally wasted on me. What a shame. Where's the free hot chocolate?

Got lost on the way home, and wound up walking from 11th street towards the Bay, all the way home. Miracle I didn't get mugged. Lovely. Some day I will conquer the bus system. Maybe getting lost using buses is payback for sneaking on sometimes?
