| About me I am 25 years old and live in Bellevue, Washington with my boyfriend of 3 years and my cat, Harley, of 4 years. My hobbies include reading, writing, rollerblading, hanging with friends, collecting tigers, and watching The X-Files. |
| Not my most glamorous day, but you get the idea. |
| I'm Cari, and I worked for a bookstore for 5 1/2 years. Most of them were good, but the last couple were bad. The last couple were spent working at an airport bookstore after my previous store closed. My poor former roommate, Al, needed a job, so I helped get her one at the airport with me. It was fun at first, but eventually it led to the stories you see here on this site. Since neither one of us work at the airport anymore, we need to stay in touch somehow. This is how we spend our breaks at work, emailing each other stories back and forth. It's a way to reminisce, have a good laugh, and get out all our frustrations about our previous job. Both of us have always been writers, and have written stories together about our friends since high school. It's a hobby I hope both of us can continue well into the future. |
