I think I got it.

I went to Hawaii on a Temp assignment!!

I had just broke up with my evil ex (the one in the domestic abuse thread) and was desperate to keep my apartment and make it on my own. So I took any work that came my way. I did a couple temp assignments and when one of them was over I went to the agency and she said the only thing she had was a filing assignment but didn't think I'd be interested in that. I asked her "does it pay", "yes,", "I'm interested"

It was a 3 week assignment at $10 an hour. I finished the assignment in 3 days. I called the agency and told them I was finished and she said they guaranteed her that they had 3 weeks worth of work. I told her either retarded people did the filing or they didn't have that much work and she said "Richard, slow down!"

Impressed with my superhero like filing skills I started getting shopped around from department to department cleaning up problem areas and getting each one organized. That lasted for about a month. Then one day I was doing some data entry and the director from Risk Management asked if the "super temp" was still here and the person I reported to pointed to me and said "he's right there" So after I finished up in that department I moved on to help the director of Risk Management.

The director had lost his assistant to maternity leave and had not gotten around to hire a replacement. The first thing he had me handle was his expense reports. He asked if I knew how to do one and I told him to give me the claim form and his receipts and I'd ask him if I had questions. He gave me 6 months of receipts and at the end of the day I gave him the completed expense reports for each of the 6 months. As I handed him the folder with the reports he asked "when do you think you'll have the others done?" I replied "Others?. They're all there. He was like "you mean they are all here?", "sure" I said. He then said that his old assistant could only do one a day. I swear they had retarded folks working there

After a month assisting this director he asks me if I would like to go to Hawaii. I just looked at him Not sure if I was experiencing a major hook up or what and I asked him what he meant. "Would you like to go to Hawaii?" "Well, I'm temping and certainly couldn't afford a trip like that", "You wouldn't have to pay". At that point I'm like give it up, what are you talking about. Well the company was opening up a new operation and were sending him to Hawaii and normally he would take his assistant on any trips like this but being that she was not there and that I had been doing such a good job for him he wanted me to go. I was like

So I spent 5 days and 4 nights in Hawaii!! I got first class airfare both ways, my own room and a hotel card for shopping. I took $100 and came back with $40. The first 3 days I was on my own. Each day the director would tell me whether or not I would be needed at the meetings and it wasn't until the 4th day that I actually did some "work" We also entertained the investor and his wife, they were really a blast. Fine dining, nights out, Luaus. Wow!!!

During the last day I was sitting taking meeting notes and they were wondering what to call the new operation. The company administered ambulatory services. They set up new operations around the country and then manage them. So they were vollying names back and forth and I started writing down my own suggestions and they named the company after one of my suggestions! "Priority Care"

This taught me never to refuse work because a lousy filing assignment turned into an incredible experience in Hawaii

and furtermore.... how old ARE you..... 74?

I always THOUGHT you knew a little too much about Hendrix than was healthy....now it all makes perfect sense.

that's amazing look at your little fancy clothes...

What did you say to Jimi, and what did he say to you? How did you get so lucky?

1st, let the haters hate...

That's his sister Janie (currently runs the Hendrix estate) with him in the photo.

Now, since you've kindly asked...

Hendrix had recently returned to the States after his conquest of England.
A buddy and I cut out of school to hang around the Cafe Au Go Go on Bleeker Street in The Village to see if he'd be there rehearsing.
Across the street from the club was a walk-down bar called the Tin Angel.
We happened to look through the plate glass window and saw this guy with all this hair. Looked at each other and agreed it was him.
Luckily, nearby was a poster store (The Infinite Poster) where I was able to grab a pen and some paper.
As soon as he walked out, about 5 or 6 girls that were walking by mobbed him.
He spoke very quietly and politely to each one of them while we waited our turn.

Here's something i'll never forget. One of the girls asked him for some little trinket he had attached to his vest.
He told her, "That was a gift from someone. How would you feel if I gave away something you had given me?"
Good answer.

Finally my time had come.
I honestly didn't know what to say and barely muttered how I enjoyed his music and when the new album was coming out.
He gave me an answer (can't remember as I was nearly passing out) shook my hand and signed the paper (Be Groovy, Jimi Hendrix) i'd handed him. He said it was a pleasure meeting us and vanished across the street and into the club.

Talk about 2 kids that had a "rep" around the school from then on...



...Untouchable.


And that's how you play productive hookey.

How do you "accidentally" end up in a porn film?

my ex, a friend and i had a private dinner with ed koch one night in the east village, then we walked him home to his apartment on 5th avenue.

Anxiety said:

Cool. I once had dinner at the house of the dude who's now the leader of one of the Federal opposition parties.

So, how did this transpire and what was your opinion of Koch?

Ace said:

I had dinner at the same table as Chaka Khan Cept she had eaten at the table the week before I was dating a guy in the music industry and occassionaly he would entertain stars and he had Chaka over for dinner. Can't beleive I wasn't there

Ace said:

it was the night after thanksgiving, and my friend called and said he was having a couple of friends over for leftovers, and did we wanna drop by...so my ex and i went over and god damn it, there was ed koch, sitting on the couch eating ravioli. i guess my friend's partner, who's a writer, was friends with koch or something - it was new york, i usually didn't question stuff like this.

koch was a nice person. very chatty, very funny, pretty charming old guy. no pretense to him whatsoever - he was decked out in a flannel shirt and jeans. i always considered him to be the personification of new york city, and there he was, just one of the guys.

Anxiety said:

Did he ask, "How'm I doin'"?
