Office of Statewide Health and Development. At 7:30am this morning I was picking up my first completed set of drawings and drove to La Jolla w/my boss for an OSHPD plan review. I'd imagined the OSHPD folks to be more institutional looking: stern-faced, with ample pocket protection, white shirts and navy blue ties. Instead, they were friendly, in polo shirts and printed hawaiian short-sleeves, no ominous office supplies just a red pen and the approval stamp. My boss said it was a very good plan review and thought I did pretty good for my first time out. In other news, my building codes teacher gave me 22.17 out of 22.5 on my homework for a final score of 99%. I don't think I've ever had a teacher withhold .33 points before and it makes me like this teacher even more.
After a long day of 8hrs of work and 2hrs of class I couldn't face another lean cuisine at my laptop so I headed to Betty's for a bowl of their sopa de tortilla con pollo y una cerveza and took a seat at the bar because the restaurant was full. Baja Betty's is the local gay bar/restaurant but apparently it isn't gay enough because 15 min. into dinner a half-drunken straight guy sat down next to me, first assured me he was not trying to pick me up, then attempted to buy me a shot of tequila, asked if I have a girlfriend and asked if I'd like to meet him out some time, then asked me 3 more times if I want some Tequila and then joked about being a violent drunk. I'd have left sooner but the server was taking forever to run my card. I guess I'll be sticking to frozen dinners and the unlimited friendship of my computer from now on.

wow, what was that that you ordered? the whole menu must be several pages long if every menu item is that long!! i think i would've just back-handed that drunk and then pushed him off his stool. anyhoo, congrats on doing so well on your first assignment. and, oh, kinda disappointed with the 99%...definitely would've expected 110%.
Some guys are relentless, not to mention dumb. I wonder how guys can have so much confidence that they're completely oblivious of the obvious. I'd have so much fun if I were a woman (especially a lesbian). After the second attempt I first accept the tequila. Then I would get the whole bar's attention and then exclaim,
"For the last time, I not only don't find men sexually attractive, but I actually find you repulsive, so why don't you take your lame pick-up lines elsewhere. If you're really as desperate as you're acting, try masturbation. Oh, and thanks for the drink--what did you think I'd forget I dig chicks if you got me drunk enough?!" (This is where you throw the tequila on his face.)
I would be shocked if that doesn't get you a standing ovation.
Thank you for the kind OSHPD words. Congratulations on your good plan review. We are all in this healthcare-providing thing together - just on opposite sides of the table....
