Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette

It’ll be a short week at the employment and training center.  Today and Tuesday will be regular days but Wednesday is the party and of course we have Thursday and Friday off.  I still don’t know what to bring to the party.  Maybe a couple of pound cakes from the Shure Save supermarket in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh’s “Little Italy”.  Why go to another neighborhood to shop when I live in North Oakland?  Because the other nearest supermarket, the Giant Eagle on Center Avenue in Shadyside has outrageous prices.  I went there a couple of times just to check the place out.  It’s no place to shop for a working class bloke who’s out of work.

I won’t know until around the first week of December if I get the call for a second interview at the data services company that I interviewed with earlier this month.
