8 February 2019 – Friday

498 down; 232 to go.

Super-ugly morning in Hell’s Kitchen. Aaron was kicked out of the store room and for some reason he was angry and threatening to me. I asked him if he was threatening me and he just shut up. Then Linda pulls me in the chemical closet and asks why/if I was rude to Belinda about her stupid-ass ordering skills. I said that I did not say anything rude to her – nothing any more than the usual funny/sarcastic schtick that I give to everyone freely. She (Linda) said Joe tells everything to Belinda so it could be anything I said in front of him too. That’s ridiculous. Needless to say I have no intention whatsoever of apologizing to that ugly, evil bitch.

Well, some better news after the break. Joe said that Aaron was kicked out because of some fight he had with Linda, not anything about his stealing. Then after lunch I was called to the case worker’s office and CM Boucher had my 4B class change paperwork to sign. He made some nice conversation about how I was previously booked for CCCO and ended up here. He was aware and agreed that CCCO is better (4 to a room, library, cable TV, etc.) I also asked him about the special exception to the personal pass and he nodded at Wingate, who reluctantly said that it had been approved by the warden. He told me to bring back the denied paperwork and he would approve it. Boucher might be a decent human being. I let mom know that I would be able to visit longer.

Bunkie Zachary Wanamaker is being sued for $170k for burning down two buildings in some stupid drunken event. His situation reminds me that I need to follow-up on the bankruptcy while I’m still in prison so I can avoid the fees and class-taking requirements.

Feeling a little better than I have for the last two weeks because the work release paperwork is moving forward and the pass for Sunday, Feb 24 was approved.
