Good luck in court if your sister decides to press charges. Please also note that I have an unacceptable amount of free time at this time and would be happy to visit you for a while.

Spud's Emporium of Comics and Games closed down recently. Just found out today.

Spud's made me who I am. They were the best comic shop I went to for the first 19 years of my life. And I worked there  a few years back. Great guys. Helpful, not condescending like a lot of other shops.  Unfortunately when I worked there there was a lot of flooding. Some merch was damaged and the downtown area died out completely. Apparently they struggled for a while and then gave up. Spud retired and just goes to the conventions now.

It's silly, but man does this bum me out. This building played one of the biggest roles in my life. And poof. Now it's gone.



Edit: This also means only 2 of the places I've worked at are still standing. And that's counting the one I'm working at now, which will be shutting down and moving in a month. I'm beginning to think I'm bad luck for businesses.

For a long while, every place I'd ever worked at had closed under ugly circumstances (In fact, the owners of the first business I ever worked at fled the country!). It was a running gag of mine that I'd bankrupted my employers through ridiculous schemes that went awry.

I almost lost my uncle due to the Veterans Hospital saying oh nothings wrong, when in fact he was anemic. If he waited to go one day more he would be gone.

hey guys what's up in this thread
     
R^2 Okay so.
R^2 I have one quarter left to go before I graduate.
R^2 I can't register for classes next quarter because I have a financial hold on my account to the tune of $2000.
R^2 I have this hold because they think I need twelve more credit hours -- two quarters left -- to graduate, and are charging me fees and tuition for that time as part of my overall financial plan.
R^2 They think this because the transcript sent by Atlanta when I moved here was sent before the grades from Winter 2011 were in, so I have twelve credit-hours labeled as "in progress", rather than a completed letter grade.
R^2 I can get rid of this hold with a transcript from AI Atlanta, which shows that, hey, I actually got As in those three classes already and don't need to take them here.
R^2 That would mean I owe no money to the Nashville campus.
R^2 So I went to Atlanta to get a transcript. They faxed one in, so everyone here totally knows I passed those classes, but they need a mailed version to be Official-with-a-capital-O.
R^2 Atlanta will not mail a transcript, because I have a financial hold there.
CnC How is that possible?
R^2 I was told that the outstanding balance I had in Atlanta would be folded into my financial plan in Nashville. This did not -- perhaps cannot -- happen.
CnC >_<
R^2 So I have to figure out how to pay AI Atlanta nearly $4000 before they will mail a transcript that will release my hold here that will allow me to register that will allow me to take my last two classes that will allow me to graduate.
R^2 Ta-da!
CnC is frustrated on your behalf
CnC Wouldn't that $4000 be paid for by your financial aid?
R^2 That is $4000 not covered by loans or financial aid, AKA Why I Was Making Monthly Payments.
R^2 Now known as Why Should I Still Make Monthly Payments When A Whole Goddamn Year of Schooling Isn't Happening Now
CnC Why can't this get rolled in at AI Nashville? Because they won't file the paperwork?
R^2 I think it's just not something they do. Despite being owned by the same company they have different financial aid departments. I like to think there's a sort of barely-hidden rivalry simmering between campuses, so they kind of hate to talk to each other, but that might just be my imagination.
CnC But they told you they could at first, right?
CnC Who told you this? Atlanta?
R^2 Some faceless drone at the Atlanta campus. Don't remember who, of course.
CnC Did you tell whoever you talked to that someone told you this?
R^2 It's easier for the people I'm talking to to believe I'm either lying to cover my ass, or that there are incompetent faceless drones in Atlanta, than to change policy.
CnC So what are your options?
R^2 I don't know yet. I have a meeting with the head of financial aid here tomorrow morning.
R^2 But it might involve "take a quarter off for the summer and work my ass off to come up with $4000". Which leads me back to looking for work. :F
R^2 In fact this is such a succinct summary I think I may well post it in the forums.

R^2, I was hoping that your lack of posts in this thread was due to stuff finally going your way, not because the universe was squeezing off a particularly large turd to drop on you.

I broke 3 ribs like 2.5 -3 weeks ago, I was doing fine until I tripped last night and landed on them again. Back to terrible pain and being unable to bend/twist.

So periodically, the registrar at school will come to classes and hand out orange sheets with a list of the holds a student has on their accounts. You must drop what you are doing immediately and handle it, lecture topic or, you know, having food on the heat be damned.

Yesterday I had to leave class because of two financial holds and an accounting hold. So after spending twenty minutes explaining what the fuck is going on and that no, I can't handle it right now, I'm waiting to hear back from the department head, I get my form signed and go back to class.

Today I got another sheet in my European cooking class. Only this one was one financial hold, one accounting hold, and one registrar hold. Pretty sure they're making shit up just to fuck with me now.

The last part of one of my classes is the Final Practical. It is called that because it is the last cooking exam I have to take in order to get my chef certification.

Just found out I'm not on the schedule to do it.

About a week ago we took our cat to the vet for a yearly checkup. Hes kind of old, and the vet basically said he could easily live several more years, but he could also easily die any day (some days he is really messed up). Then today our other, younger cat vanished. I have been looking for her basically since I got home from school today.

On top of everything, including some medical issues, I got beat up in a bar by a drunk girl.
While my friends egged her on.
To the point I almost blacked out.
