Today went by smoothly and I was in an incredibly positive mood that stuck with me after work, even in the checkout line at the bookstore.

“Do you have your Borders Rewards Card, sir?”

“You bet your ass I do!”

It wasn’t all grins and exclamatories, however. Today we had to bid farewell to Mike, an intern who started here the same time that I did. You see, Mike made the mistake of graduating last semester. As such, he was unable to receive any sort of school credit for his internship, disqualifying him from working here. The situation came to a head today, and he had to leave.

Let this be a lesson to everyone. Stay in school.
