If I'm not very sociable for a while, it isn't because I don't like you. It's because I don't like anybody at the moment and you've just been temporarily lumped in with all the rest.

I'm trying to decide which choice is worse: Staying home today making a bunch of phone calls when I'm far too cranky and antisocial to make a good impression on anybody & will probably end up either crying and/or screaming when I need to be--or at least seem--rational in order to accomplish anything, suffering all the while from the nasty hot weather because I can't afford air-conditioning in my room; or going to the library where it's nice and air-conditioned and where I can read about many interesting things without having to deal with people too much, yet putting off for yet another day those phone calls I very much need to make if I want to continue eating beyond about July 15 or so.

I'd lean toward going to the library today and trying to make phone calls tomorrow if it weren't for the fact that, though today's weather is expected to be bad, tomorrow's is expected to be killer. How many meals can I skip without passing out, I wonder... maybe they'll let me sleep in the library...

Why not go to the library and make the phone calls from there?

Surely they have pay phones or something.

Too public. I'm not giving out my Social Security number for all the world to hear, and there's a variety personal of personal info involved as well. There aren't any public phones within walking distance that don't have large numbers of people hanging about hearing your every word whether they want to or not, or I'd try that.

Ah.

That makes sense.

I was thinking of my old school library, which had those little phone booths with the seats and the doors that closed for privacy.
