Suite 215, Bloomington
This is where my new morning temp job is. The building is brick and nondescript. The interior is wood panelling and copper letters on each door, spelling out each vague office (ex: C&C Regional). People walking in the hallway are mostly drones in misfitting suits, marking their day with smoke breaks. My actual duties involves calling businesses in St.Louis and Portland, giving away free tickets to home and garden expos. I mostly “hold the line” to talk to another voicemail, all the while doodling MC Escher imitations on my legal pad.
For those who like coincidences: I started this job on March 14th (3/14). The area code in St. Louis is 314. The code for me to make long distances calls is 314. The suite is 215. It all adds up to 8. Uncanny.
