11. Aww, that's too bad.
I graduate this year, finally! And the tutor had to go as he proved unreliable in the long run.

I'm glad you'll be okay. Being sick is no fun.

Too bad about the tutor, but it's his loss, not yours. :P

9. It is I... the infamous, though seemingly forgotten, Belladonna
:D:

I'm not so bad.. busy with working and school and, unfortunately, dealing with some weird nasty combo of a head cold, chest cold and Gawd knows what else.... I prefer to call it the crud ;)

How's things in Mexico? Can I still come hide out there when they open the detention camps? :scared:

23. The bookstore? You pulled it off?
Yay for you!!! :bounce:

I saw awhile back that you were going to give it a shot but even my lurking has been a minimum lately and I guess I missed something, eh?

I'm just working and going to school.... I love it most days, even the school part :D

24. I decided to do it online for now
I couldn't get the loam i needed for a new bookstore/cafe, so instead I bought 32,000 used books from a guy in Minnesota, and they are now in my apaprtment and garage.

I am opening accounts at a few web sellers, and will be hosting my own page also.

26. I am moving the inventory to another site
half.com is owned by eBay, and sucks ass just like the mothership does.

The site has been down, as far as adding new inventory, for 3 days now, without a simple acknowledgement of the problem.

I could get on a plane to California, find their evil lair, and fix their damn code without breaking a sweat.

Customer service my ass.

27. Things are fine.
The only thing that has happened with the work ghost is he came home. About 2 months ago, I was out at the back of the building smoking a cigarette and where I was sitting you can see the back doors. They are glass and have tinting so at night they reflect everything. Well I was the only one in the building and the doors face the back gate to the back parking lot. Well all of the sudden headlights appeared in the back doors and I look over at the back gate and they are opening(automated, with access controlled by a badge reader.), but no vehicle was there. I looked back at the back doors and the headlights were still there and you could tell they were moving down the parking lot. I look back and the gate is closing and still no headlights. I look back at the door and there are headlights. I look back at the gate and it finished closing and I look at the back door and the headlights were gone. Needless to say I finished my cigarette and went back inside.

Then a few nights later, I had a pair of boots walk by my office door. I saw boots walking down the hall with no one in them.

I have moved to mid day so am not there at night anymore. So have not seen anymore.

21. I'll do that
It does seem I have a little more time lately, which is kinda weird given that I'm taking a full load this semester. Maybe I just got more organized somewhere along the way? :shrug:
