public bathrooms at night

 sometimes one has to use public bathrooms at night. this was one of those nights, as i had performed at the open-mic. for whatever reason, it brought back memories of doing so in years past. two of these that stand out were when i was living in suburban chicago. first was when i had just moved and saw the movie 'last days of disco', in glen ellyn. the other was when i saw a concert, the pretenders, at a theater on the city's north side. the latter had an attendant, i don't see those too often. guess it is a good memory because i am of course out doing something if i have to use one. notables from the set were attending the chicken show at fringe, and being annoyed at aldi. at work a technician showed up at midday, earlier than expected per the email. the serial number or part number was found for the expansion tray to be ordered for a check printer, and now i know where it is on the unit. i spoke of how there have been some paper jams lately, but not a big deal on clearing those. the jams are still happening a little too often though. at mid-morning when i sent a box to the branch i found out the manager didn't have the authority to sign off on sponsorships for the bank, and it meant the form i sent her was forwarded to someone else. one learns something new every day. late in the evening after performing i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 42 cents. looks like the family dollar is closed for good as the big red sign saying 'store closing' has been taken down. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when howard did his first pitch at an angels baseball game. it was followed by the one where sheldon and amy were in new york city for their honeymoon and we see sheldon throw away hot dogs. with tonight's finding of small change i have enough for an ice cream cone at the dairy queen near work. i don't think i had been to it yet this year, but i have been to others for blizzard treats when not working.
