Craigslist Swarms of Email

I posted a bunch of stuff on the craigslist free stuff page. Pure garbage most of it, but people love it. So, as a result of my generosity, people have been swarming me with emails of how they can be the first to pick it up, and can I please hold all this crap for them. Well, I get one email, and reply immediately. The big problem I see is that they don't reply back immediately with the time they can come get it, their phone number, etc. They just send one email that says "when can I pick it up" or "where it at" or similar, and expect me to keep track of all that. Then they don't reply for like a few hours.

So my biggest problem with that situation is that I need this crap out of here by this weekend, because I have extended family coming over for graduation. I want the place clean, and it's not clean with piles of crap all over the place.

Now, the next issue will be when people come to pick these items up. When someone calls dibs on something, I grant it to them, and trust that they'll pick it up when they say they will. When that happens, I email anyone else who says they want an item and tell them someone else has dibs, and I'll get back to them if it falls through. So, when it falls through on Friday morning, I have to go through the process all over again with another dipshit from the internet.

This time, it's going to be different. I'm going to dump all the crap either on my sidewalk or at the Salvation Army on Friday afternoon if nobody picks it up. That'll show 'em.

Almost done...

So there's about 2 weeks left in the semester, and I'm getting pretty close to done with my papers. I'm a little upset with my teachers for not being speedier about getting me comments on them so I can make changes before my defense (which is on Thursday), but I don't really care anymore. Whether I pass or not means nothing now, because even if I don't pass right away, I can just take an incomplete and finish over the summer. I spent the first 2 months of the semester dealing with the jerks in the grad office anyway, just so I could SIGN UP to graduate. That was a little retarded on my part, but the point is, I ended up not really starting my thesis papers until halfway through the semester. I know, I'm a slackass, but I just don't care anymore. I feel like a total idiot when I'm writing these papers because they're not really what I want to write about. I just don't have time to do what I want right now. I'll do that later in my academic life. At this point, the Mexico trip is all I'm really looking forward to. That, and moving. Yay!

Oh my god, it's been awhile.

Well, it's been a long ass time since I've done anything here, as usual. But, my squibs are nearing completion, I don't so much wish I was dead anymore, and I'm still awfully tired.

Oh, and also I set this thing up to use blogger. I think it's gonna be pretty neat. All the old news is under that link up there that says "old news." Enjoy!
