So, it's been a while. 
How's everybody doing?
Good?
Good.
How'm I?  I'm doing pretty good.
Had a birthday last month. No big deal.
Still working on the Sequel.
Oh.
And I'm gainfully employed.
Yes, you read that right.  I'm working about 30 hours a week at my local comic shop. That work-credit job I took developed into a paid position before my first weekend.  One of the shop employees left and they wanted to fill her shift and, voila, I'm suddenly working five days a week.
It sort of sucks that my days off aren't back to back, but it's not bad.
I really like working there.  The people are cool, the customers are pretty decent and the work isn't very demanding. They've started letting me count the till at the beginning and end of the day, which makes me a little nervous. Numbers and I have never really gotten along.
The best thing though is that I can stand behind the counter and get my geek on.  The other day I talked with a guy who had been walking by the shop for two years and decided to come in and see what was going on in the world of comics.  He was a big fan of Namor the Sub-Mariner, so I gave him the highlights of the last few years.  It really made his day. 
Then there was the super-polite young man named Gerald, who also came into the shop for the first time, looking for some Star Wars comics. And the guy who just moved up from Florida looking for a new comic shop, and the young man who spent a ridiculous amount of money to complete his collection of The Amazing Spider-Man.
So, yeah, it's pretty cool.
At the moment, life's good.
How're y'all doing?
