CHAPTER 6

As the day of the gallery opening fast approached, I couldn't really tell if I was getting better or worse at my job. Sometimes I felt positively brilliant: organizing press releases and answering questions from the NPR interviewer as though it was second nature to me.

Other times I felt utterly helpless in the face of small decisions like what kind of plates that I need to buy for my new condo? Was I going to use the same laundry detergent I had always used, or was I suddenly the sort of person who felt tropically fresh? Or April fresh? Maybe linen fresh? Mundane decisions like that could just stop me in my tracks.

Several people responded almost immediately to the ad about the Jeep, and I met the second email in the parking lot of the rock 'n roll McDonald's. It was a young couple. I watched them walk across the parking lot: her in a salvaged broom skirt, him in a natty bowtie and carefully sculpted beard.

They looked like the sort of people who might go on a road trip, maybe to see the Replacements or Willie Nelson or something like that. They would probably stop off in a cornfield just for fun. Maybe they would use the Jeep to cart new home brewing equipment.

It seemed like a decent decision and I needed the cash anyway. Well… If I was being completely honest, I really didn't need the cash. I wasn't sure what I was doing for cash but it just no longer seemed to be an issue since Owen and Jack had each given me a corporate card emblazoned with my name.

I gave the hippie hipsters the keys to the Jeep and hugged them each awkwardly before flagging another taxicab and heading toward the bank. I felt like I was going through some kind of procession of goodbyes: I had a new apartment, I no longer had the Jeep, and now I needed to head back to the bank.

But that turned out to be a remarkably simple operation. I showed the guy behind the desk my drivers license and asked simply to open a new account starting with half the balance of my old savings account. He agreed and in less than half an hour I had a new account, new login, new ATM card on its way.

Was half fair? I didn't even know anymore. I suppose I could have figured it out to the penny if I had really tried. In fact, I probably could've taken it all. After everything he had done to me, that seemed sort of righteous. But I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of doing anything that could be retold in a way that made me look like a thief. I was really enjoying the moral high ground. It had a nice view.

All of these things gave me an excellent way to winnow down the minutes and hours before Friday's opening. I had a laundry list of things to do that stretched into the dozens, and I was checking them off, one by one.
