Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)

Quotes

Morrissey: [reading Nick's record] Never been married, parents both deceased... the guy's got a few friends, but not real close to any of them. Not exactly a workaholic, either. He kind of plays it fast and loose.

David Jenkins: I've dealt with people like this before. No close personal ties, no strong political beliefs, no particular interests... in fact, when you think about it, the man has the perfect profile. He was invisible *before* he was invisible.

Apache Attack

By Richard Mackenzie

The helicopters would open the war. They had to take out Iraq's early warning net, and they had to get it all.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)

Quotes

Nick Halloway: Now you listen to me, you son of a bitch. I've lost everything, but my soul, and you're not gonna take that away from me. Whatever I become, it's gonna be my choice, not yours. Is that clear?

David Jenkins: Listen, we're prepared to give you anything you want. Everything you need. But you have to understand, if you won't work with us, I can't let you live.

The psychiatrist at the VA hospital was still wanting me to take the drugs because he was wanting me to have blood drawn and I left his office and I said the heck with that and I skipped the blood test and the next week at our regularly scheduled meeting he told me something about how he knew I didn't have my blood taken but he didn't say that in so many words and I didn't say anything and then he wanted me to have blood drawn again and again I left the building without getting another needle stuck in my arm and the next week when I went back to the VA hospital and was sitting in the waiting room for him to call my name and I saw him come out of his office and he called someone else's name and I just got up and left the building and I never went back there again.

Thinking again overnight one detail became clearer in my mind about the year 1990.

My official records from the United States National Archives, they sent to me three years ago, documents when my separation leave began.

I wrote about how I couldn't recall the precise date I first started work at a civilian job in Greenville South Carolina.

A document from the United States Social Security Administration I received back in the year 2006 got me thinking about that. That document lists the civilian employers I had in the past and which included from the year 1990 up to Microsoft Corporation beginning December 1998.

So the detail that became clearer in my mind last night is consistent with my closer examination of the calendar of the year 1990.

The day 01 April 1990 was a Sunday.

So that must be the day I wrote about traveling with Jim Shea out to Seneca South Carolina for the very first service call of the contract my employer (according to my federal documents) had just taken over to service computer equipment for First Federal Savings and Loan in South Carolina.

That is consistent for two reasons.

One is because I remember a training period before the service contract began.

The other is because I recall the urgency needing me to be available to work with Jim Shea in the Greenville office.

The second point is reinforced by the facts I remember associated with meeting with Dan Benbow.

I found out I could interview for employment but I was needed there in Greenville as soon as possible. At the time I was still waiting in a temporary duty barracks as my honorable discharge from the United States Navy was being processed.

I can still recall going to the office and asking another Petty Officer who worked in the office if I could take the day off so I could go to Greenville for the employment interview. He said I could not take off and so I asked if I could use a leave day for that and that is what happened. I either recall now or I recall now that I once wrote that I traveled to Greenville for the Thursday interview with Dan Benbow, which the calendar says is 22 March 1990.

So since my separation leave began on Saturday then Friday must have been my last day and that must be the day I recall driving the rental car from Charleston South Carolina to Greenville.

I had to do that because my employer had an employee from Texas in town to train us (very lightly) on the equipment and I would have needed to be there on Monday. The following Sunday was the 1st of April.

Spokane Valley 2013

I have documented often that the calendar date 3/24/1990 is listed in my official United States Navy documents as the day I began Separation Leave for my US Navy enlistment and subsequent Honorable Discharge.

I documented that the calendar date 3/26/1990 must have been the first day of my civilian employment with Ketterman's in Greenville South Carolina.

That was the job where I worked as a computer technician.

I had a sleeping dream with the past day or couple days associated with my activities in that employment.

That job was a computer maintenance contract for First Federal Savings and Loan based in Greenville.

The most challenging work was keeping the bank's automatic teller machines operating.
