No Reasonable Expectation
There are probably signs posted everywhere that people never read. Take, for example, the sign posted almost on the ceiling of the men's restroom at the Westgate Mall here in San Jose. I don't know how many times I was in there before I ever bothered to look at it. I mean, I don't live at the mall, so it was probably only two or three times that I was in there before I bothered to read it, but still, if you only go in once, you aren't likely to pay it any attention.
I can't remember the entire text of the sign, but the part that sticks out in my mind is, "NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY SHOULD BE ASSUMED." Yes, this on a sign in a mall restroom. I can't say whether the same sign is posted in the women's room, but it wouldn't surprise me. It makes me wonder if I should go in there anymore.
Things are going well here in San Jose. I have been enjoying the community at St. Dominic's, though it is a 100 mile round trip every time I go up to the city. I imagine if won't be long before I finally make the move up north. I'm not 100% sure where I'll end up living. I would love to live in the city, of course, but it is so expensive and in the event that I end up working in the East Bay, I might well elect to live over there. But I imagine I should be making enough to pay the high city rent... we'll see what develops.
I went to a concert tonight. Jeanne, the long-time family friend I am staying with in San Jose, plays French Horn and is in several performance groups locally. One of the groups she plays with is the Saratoga Community Band and they had their annual Winter Concert tonight. It was pretty good for a volunteer community band. They actually have quite a large group of musicians - I would estimate at least 50 people. I was keeping my eye out for a possible date, but I discovered that all of the females there were either under 13 or over 30. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with either population, but they are just not in my current dating pool.
Tomorrow I have nothing scheduled. I interviewed today, have a career presentation on Wednesday and another interview on Thursday, but tomorrow is a free day. I'll spend it sleeping in, reading, tracking down some additional job references and maybe doing some Christmas shopping.
Alright, well I've run out of things to say.
