Diary

I have finished a lot of good stuff which will be important in getting a job at SDC or someplace similar. 6800 BASIC, + 6502 + knowledge of 8080 + APL + Fortran (by the time I leave). I ahve no nondisclosure agreement, etc. etc. I have lots of marketing experience + practice + administrative talent.

This will turn into a brainstorming session of what to say in my resume or to people directly. I am disciplined + systematic enough not to forget anything to do. I am patient and willing to spend time being disciplined. I am cautious + have learned how not to get me or my people out on a limb.

I am a good programmer. A good designer. A good researcher. I want dearly to live in Santa Monica. I have a Stanford education with prep school background. I have quite a few other interesting experiences. Being unmarried is helpful in making

my life fluid + more resilient. I know all about MSoft, the company that produces good Mcomp software. I have been very involved in it.

Over the next 3 months I want to BS + learn from customers what it is they want. Get a feel for what I want to do. Talk a lot. Be very verbal when Bill is here. Talk, talk, talk will show my interest + motivation. Be prepared to do this w/ Curry, customers, etc. Read magazines a lot.

Now that I have finished this I want to read thru it + write a letter to Tom Fleming stating my reasons. Also as I read thru it, make my resume list. I guess a lot of it just has to be thrown out. Boil it all down to a letter + a resume.

Goals this week

Put jewelry together write up list of stuff to put into Editx + prioritize clean bathroom vacuum room finish reading advocate, etc. get pictures Friday at Fox exercise Wednesday deposit $10 in checking Tuesday [marked out] check out coral necklaces get clothes from dry cleaners Tuesday

Friday morn Jan 28

Well I wrote my letter to Tom Fleming and also got all of the other stuff on my list done, that's checked. I also went home with Randy + Jay + got the hat I left there last spring. Roger also went with us. Met new guy who just moved back here from Cal. Cute, cute.

So while Chip was gone I got a lot done domestically. But after I exercised Sunday night, I did

a lot. Went to all the dirty book stores + movies, trying to get a trick. Even to Foxes. Sunday aft'noon is the shits. Very depressing. Finally jerked off down in Movies next to Spa. Reason for this was an especially good looking guy at Spa. Short but very curvy.

After this I went to MSoft + thot about what I want totally. Hard to tell. Went home very early + to sleep. Thot in bed early morning to make up for lost time Sunday.

Then Monday, after doing necessities, I worked on the problem of Edx, again, for 4 hours. Worked for MSoft Monday night so no change in time account totals.

Worked all day Tuesday on standard pricing and taxes. So I go + IM. Then Wednesday was normal. Worked on ads + taxes, then exercised + goofed around in evening. Dinner by accident w/ Chip + Vinny.

Then Thursday I worked 1 full day and got stuff done at home, like cleaning and vacuuming my room. Then MH^2 + Kojak.

So I have only spent 1 half day on EDX. 4 hours on Monday. But I also spent an hour Thursday asking myself what it is I want, + also some time Monday eve asking myself how to go about EDX realistically. After resolving all the stuff that had to be changed on Monday, I went through for an extra hour 1/2 Monday eve + asked myself how to go now. I made list of stuff which absolutely must get done. It is not much. The stuff which is left to do will not make or break a sale.

So I spent some time Tuesday getting my draft of
