Yes sir, of course, sir.

Aaanyway,

If it's left out behind a shop it's garbage. If it's left out in plain view it's probably because someone at the shop knows it's worth taking and they're leaving it out for someone who will appreciate it.

I'm starting day #4 of not smoking ... I think I'm past the "zombie rage" stage at this point.

Funerals are the ****ing worst, Rob. Try to think about the good aspects of your friend's life and you'll get through the feelings of loss, anger, etc. as well. It just has to happen and it'll be as long a process as it takes. Someone will say something callous in the future that sets you off, something trivial will remind you of your friend and you'll have a pathetic emo moment but eventually you'll get to the point where there's a balance between remembering the person, being glad for the time they were in your life and feeling ready to move on.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go merchandise my spring bookings now. *wee*
