Back on Campus

As usual, I stopped by the bookstore, hoping to buy my book. And, as usual, my book wasn't there. This time, they had added a little, yellow sticker to the shelf tag, informing everyone that the book was due in on the 2nd. Guess lots of people have been asking about it. Alot. The guy I talked to while I was there suggested that I could "pre-pay" now, and then they would call me, when the book got in. Yeah. Sure. I'm going to hand over my money now, for a book that shows no sign of showing up until well after class has started. A book that I've been being told should be there in a couple of days for over a month, now. Nope. Not a chance. I managed to say "No," Not particularly politely, but without the use of any pejoratives, and with actually laughing in the guy's face. Good for me.
