hey everyone! it's been a little while, so I have two things for you all. the first is that I've written up everything we saw on the ghost trip I organized late last month. if you'd like to hear the details, let me know and I'll send over the document. the second is that I'm starting an advice column! I need things to write advice about, so feel free to comment with things you'd like help with. I promise I'll try my best to make it good advice. I'm definitely returning as a teacher next year and I need the experience! ...... and the bingo square.

I guess that's true
not everyone needs to know where I live though. maybe a PO box?

[b0mbshell]

Good plan, kid. Go with that.

I think that's what a lot of advice columnists do.

[openhanded]

email works too but it's also really easy to abuse, I think.

is there something you'd like advice on non-anonymously, or were you just giving me advice? not that I'll ever say no to that!

[b0mbshell]

Well it wouldn't be fair for me to give you this advice and then not be sneaky about using it myself.

[He might come up with some questions just so that the guy has something to do anyway. He doesn't really ask for advice but then again, doesn't mean he doesn't need it.]

I think the world's a lot better if everyone helps each other out. I'm a bartender part-time so I end up doing a lot of listening anyway.

[b0mbshell]

I suppose as a bartender you get some pretty wild stories.

haha you bet.
half of them start off with 'you look too young to be working here'
and then two hours later I'm consoling them about their marriage

I really like that aspect though? I like being part of what makes people happy.
it's not ALWAYS the alcohol, it's people too!

[b0mbshell]

[Awww, he sounds like a good kid.]

It sounds like you keep them pretty happy. Maybe this is the right gig for you.

[openhanded]

[He tries!]

it's not really a career though... I want to be out there digging stuff up and exploring old ruins and unearthing history! I can't do that from behind a counter.

but...

until I get my degree and I can do all of that, I'm actually pretty happy where I am.

Luke's always been good to me. Cabin Eleven feels like home more often than not.

[b0mbshell]

I never met Luke.

What sort of drinks do you got at that place, by the way?

[openhanded]

that's too bad. He's super nice!

we have all the normal bar stuff, mostly middle and top shelf. there are some special cocktails too... Luke made them up.

He doesn't remember Retrospec though
