After my long (and still ongoing) debacle with Barnes & Noble, I just got off the phone with their support team for the fourth time, and hopefully I won't have to call them back again. This time I had to call them to get them to email me another return label (since my parents neglected to print out the correct number of them before they expired) ( Read more... )

I figured I'd post because it's been a week or so. I have been super, super busy with work lately, which I kind of expected (and it's nice because I'm getting more hours which means more pay, but bad because I'd like to enjoy my vacation and not feel exhausted 95% of the time). I've only got two more days left of work and then I'm off for a whole ( Read more... )

So I'm kind of really pissed right now. Two Saturdays ago (December 11th), I ordered some books from barnesandnoble.com because it was the last day I could get my 40% employee discount. I ordered 15 books and have only seen 2 thus far. They were all shipped December 13th. One package, sent by UPS and containing 2 books, got to me last Friday. One ( Read more... )

So it looks like I won't be going home for spring break at all. I finally got my schedule for that week, and while I have three days off, they aren't consecutive. And when you have to drive 7 hours to get to your destination, you really need them to be consecutive ( Read more... )

Jesus-fucking-A school and work are kicking my ass this week. I haven't had a day off from both since last Sunday (February 6th). And I don't get one until Friday. It's not that I even go to school or work particularly long hours, it's just the combination of the two gives me little time for homework ( Read more... )

Here is a list of things Cinnamon and I bought today ( Read more... )

So obviously, I have not been around the internets for the past week. That would be because I still don't have internets. What I thought I would have last Tuesday turned into something I won't be getting until this upcoming Friday. Which really, really sucks, because I have a lot of schoolwork that I can only do online, and it's just an ( Read more... )

Just wanted to let you all know that I am, in fact, still alive! I'm currently in the school's library (at 8pm), using their wifi. We should have internet at our apartment on Tuesday, which I am really looking forward to. There are only so many games of Solitaire and Spider Solitaire I can lose before I'm ready to give up card games for good. :p ( Read more... )

[Edit: Apparently taking the easy way doesn't pay off. I've now fixed all the screencap links so you can see them this time. -__-;;]

I'll start off this entry with a little real life update. I still don't have a place to live in Pensacola and my prospects are still pretty lousy. I've got just under 3 weeks until school starts, so hopefully ( Read more... )

I am now free of work for the next 5 weeks! Today was my last day at B&N, and it was surprisingly bittersweet. I was told (by different people) that 1) I can't leave, 2) I will be sorely missed, and 3) the place is going to fall apart without me there. Never have I felt so more loved and needed at a job ( Read more... )
