Friday in New Diary

I didn’t have a good night last night. I could not sleep. Finally fell a sleep around 1 or 2. Consequently, I slept in till 9l I woke up feeling miserable. Arthritis was acting up something terrible. Got a new worker today. She came in a few minutes after nine She did a good job of cleaning up my apartment. She made me breakfast and did the laundry. We talked for a while said she was from Weirton and had four kids. She didn’t asked me a lot of questions. Told her where I worked and different jobs I had. Said I lived around here all my life except for a time when I lived in NJ. She left and will be back Monday.

Called chocolatechip. I asked if she could come up. We had a nice conversation. Said I was sorry for not being able to carry on a decent conversation. I said I never was a talker been like that all my life. She said maybe she expects too much., I said I don’t think so just want somebody to talk to. I said I love it when she talks to me and tells me about different things going on in her life and her conversations with different people.

Today she was telling me about a mutual acquaintance with this one man named “Nelson.” He was friends with this guy named “Jimmy.” But Jimmy got evicted. When they were friends this Nelson character never spoke to her. Now that Jimmy is gone he is always trying to talk to her. What he is talking to her about is this lady who works in the office. He is not saying nice things about her and is always trying to get her to comment.

We do not really trust “Nelson.” I said when he does that I would not say anything and just walk away. Say for example you do make a comment about this lady in the office. It will get back to her and she will have words with you. People are like that in this building. They try to draw you into their crap and issues with the housing authority. You say something make some kind of comment and then they blab about it to everyone else in the building. Then all of a sudden you are in trouble with “Alice”, the lady in the office.

This is one of many reasons why I stick to my books and TV. I don’t like most of the people who; live in this building. I think the feeling is mutual and they do not like me. Think they are always miserable always complaining always bitching about somebody else in the building. Then there are the users. They are your friends so long as they can bum cigarettes from you or anything else they can get. Then when you are out of cigs out of money they are nowhere to be found.

I like the building. I like the staff. They do a good job of keeping this place clean and decent. I just don’t like the people, never did and never will. That is one reason why I stay to myself.

Well it is noon right now. Got it on Channel 9 They are talking about the shooting in California. Breaking news they learned that the suspects in the shooting pledged allegiance to ISIS Looks to me that the attack was a terror attack.
