San Ramon, in all honesty, was pretty boring and there was nothing special to write home about. It was my second time going there for survey so luckily I felt like I knew it inside and out which made the work go by that much faster; though I didn’t really get a chance to see the real estate agents that I wanted to meet with – (getting anyone to talk to you in the US for free information on the rental market is nearly impossible and such a pain in the ass). Luckily I got a chance to repeat a visit with a realtor I had met with before who was so very friendly (and was content enough to give up information for a free bottle of nice vino), so we had the chance to catch up. But aside from that, the only notable thing that happened was that I got sick with a terrible ear infection so I had to go to the doctor – and waited in line for hours to do so. He prescribed me medicine and pretty much told me this better get better by the time I had to fly home or it would be possible that my eardrum would perforate. I wasn’t totally sure what that meant but all I could picture was my ear drum exploding. It didn’t sound pleasant. Luckily everything turned out fine in the end; the high-dosage of strong antibiotics he prescribed for me did the trick.
I swear to God during the week I was there they were holding the annual Wal-Mart conference nearby. Either that or it was the red-neck extravaganza. I tried, really hard to listen to conversations to see if I could get snippets of what was going on. No luck. The characters coming through the hotel, well staying at the hotel were humorous. Big fat ladies who hadn’t seen a gym in her life, men with long hair and beards with clothes that were far from fitting. It was comical, I couldn’t believe my eyes. We were in California not Arkansas and these people did not belong.
I ate at In and Out Burger. Yum. I was given a large pizza for the price of a small at Papa John’s. I missed Mom. And then I went home for the weekend; I got a break from the madness to refresh and it was very nice.
