Oh baby, our internet has been down for about a week now. Guy finally got everything hooked back up and to top it off my moms new boyfriend is a techy savvy guru who not only fixed my old computer up (had been unusable for several months), but installed Windows 8 on it. Going to take some getting used to for sure, but so far I'm enjoying everything. Pumped to really dive back into KVBL, I need to try and get a trade or 7 worked out before the deadline. Want to give Gartland a chance to start for a sim as well.

You have no idea how much there is to know about shoes until you work at a sporting goods store. I've been working for several months and theres still things I don't even know.

**BlakeJesus** · 01-06-2013, 10:06 AM

I worked at a shoe store for over a year and a half.

For sure, you can get crazy good deals too. I got a couple free insoles, socks, $200 boots for $80, $140 dress shoes for $60. Still enjoying the perks from that job years down the road.

That's sweet man. I get stuff for the cost price plus 10% which usually works out to 50-60% off. We can spend up to $2,000 a year as well and we're allowed to use it for friends and family which is a bonus.

And hey BlakeJesus my bad for being a major douche to you in my last days as a mod. Totally unnecessary on my behalf.

The douche-iness was reciprocated on my end, so no worries. It definitely happens. $2,000 is one hell of a budget, damn.

It is, but when friends and family hear they can get ahold of it, it doesn't last as long as you'd think.

Turns out it's bronchitis. I got some promethazine (cough syrup) and a Z-Pack to take (antibiotics). Hopefully I'm good to go by the weekend.

**Knick Killer** · 01-07-2013, 02:46 PM

It was a nice 8 month break from school, but I was ready to go back to school today. I'll probably be sick of it in a week but ahh we'll see.

Yeah, if it's a sputum productive cough it's most likely that. Azithromycin is the actual name for the Z-pack and yes I know it's antibiotics. In fact, it's a macrolytic antibiotic in the same class of Erythromycin known to have approximately 5-10% penicillin cross allergic reaction. It's generally used for STDs and aggressive periodontal infections.

LET'S GO BOARDS STUDYING! WOO!

**Basel** · 01-07-2013, 04:36 PM

Oh I know that you know what it is. I put the parentheses for those who don't know.

I rest hope this is gone by Saturday. I don't need my sickness to ruin more plans for me.

**King Joseus** · 01-07-2013, 04:52 PM

They really don't try to hide the fact that my classes are secondary here too much. I show up to my first morning class to find two students there while the rest are at some exam that I was never told about ahead of time, with them to be finished with only about fifteen minutes of my class left. Normally, I wouldn't care, but that's the one class where I still need to give oral exams to everyone due to past schedule changes meaning this is the first opportunity.

Ridiculous. Oh well, back to that now. The "oral exam" will now likely consist of one sentence or so for everybody as I try to squeeze them into a small timeframe.
