March 20, 1970 (Letter from Barb Lucia)
Well, it's another afternoon at work, this time it's a different place, different, city, but the same old shit -- work, eat, sleep, go out... there is nothing to do in the winter but be a dud, no matter where you are of what the hell you're doing!
It'll be two weeks tomorrow I've been here-- the first week was an absolute hell -- after running around w/ everybody, I still got to walk around and get lost 3 thousand times in Boston -- you should have seen me -- taking subways, buses, walking and walking and walking -- I'm there, Hey! Neat! Of course, none of my interviews worked out so here I am working in an office again. I didn't want this job but the guy kept calling me up and I didn't know what to say, so I took it. For a grand total of $85 a week, I'll never get rich.
Well, enough of this money-minded materials, straight-city talk -- other than that, things are great. I'm still living with Carol in her apartment, sleeping on her couch -- there are 4 of us there and it's a little crowded -- I must get my ass moving and find a place -- I am so helpless when it comes to this stuff. I went down to Harvard Square last nite and got a "Boston After Dark" and looked -- I'm there Duh! I got lost trying to come home on the subway -- geez, that's the first time that happened -- perverts to the left, perverts to the right -- I'll never be Ratso Rizzo.
What are you doing besides school (blah) -- working? (blah). When's your spring break? You really should go somewhere this year. Bermuda? Florida? The Bahamas? Warren? Everybody's always talking about what they're doing th is summer -- help! I don't even know what I'm doing now!
I wrote a letter to Mardi at Bill's in Mpls. I imagine that's where she is! I know she's not working yet -- when will we all see each other again? Renee's wedding is only a few weeks off and I'm almost sure I won't be able to make it. Not to mention that I didn't get an invitation, but I will try to send her a present anyway; it's not every day you get married!
Do you realize it's almost summer? Today is beautiful -- of course it might have changed since I went out at noon - - we don't even have windows here-- now hear this -- I have successfully wasted an entire year and will probably do so again -- Paul, when you're rich and famous, will you still talk to me? I'll probably be carhopping down on the Bowery -- Mardi will be an airline stewardess, Joan will have 6 kids, oh, I can't stand it....
You better write me a line or two soon, at least before your vacation -- I get lonely sometimes her e-- I fell like I'm running a one-man show and I am such a ding-a-ling anyway. Take care. How's Kenny. Heave you been visiting the music room lately? Last nite Carol and I got out the pipe, but it didn't do a thing for me -- maybe I should go find a music room.
