What kind of truck? I used to sell trucks up to about 80,000 lbs. GVWR, and I can't think of one type of body that can be gotten in Nova Scotia but not in Florida.

Put DITL down for it's first case of possible flu/swine flu. I was sent home from university today with "flu like symptoms" and need to wait at least 48hrs to return. Whoopee.

Well, my mom's new phone came today. The Samsung Alias, and she loves it, a lot, it has a nice keyboard that switches when you flip the screen, quite impressive...

We had to do a difficult thing to change the service over, and the costumer service was great for it. I got it done in an hour (last time I did this it took 3) so not too bad, I'm quite impressed actually.

Well, just found out one of my professors is a pig. He actually came onto me in class. Ugh. He's been flirting with me for the whole semester, and I have ignored it till now (I mean he's sixty, he couldn't possibly be interested). But I think a trip to the dean is in order now.
Any suggestions?

If it can be backed up by witnesses, yes. At the very least go to the department chair. Just out of curiosity, what are you studying for?

What is it with Americans and producing distinctly ugly phones.



On a more important note, I hope you feel better soon Sonic!

I really don't know, I like a few American phones, but it seems that in America the only way you can get a decent looking phone is by getting a smart phone. But the functionality of the phone more than makes up for the looks IMO.

As well as that, I am starting work on a writing piece that I had come up with months ago but couldn't come up with a beginning to it. I'll type it up on the computer and then put it up on here in the writer's forum. I only have about a half a page right now in word, and very little duologue in the beginning as it's mostly thinking to himself in a flashback, but it's not too boring, I should have it up tonight about eh... 1 or 2, because I have to work on another English essay that I need to do today. But once that's done I'll begin putting it up.

Oh, come on. I happen to know for a fact that in Florida - even in the panhandle - you can either buy or rent a pickup truck.

Precisely why they're not getting paid for it. They could have crated their stuff up, shipped it, and rented a truck down here for a third of what they wanted to charge me to driving their own truck and stuff down.

So, I actually decided screw the paper, and write it up now, so it's up, and I hate the name but couldn't think of anything better, at this point no one else really knows anything about it so wouldn't have any advice about a name, but I'll give it time, and then pick a better one, and I'll put it in my sig so it's easy to find if anyone wants to.
