Noses Optional?!?

Sorry about that, Kristy.

A bored librarian stuck at work with nothing exciting to do can get up to all kinds of mischief.

I must remember to stash a manga or two in my desk.

Babbling away on the forum is a good way to pass the time.

Plus it's fun to see how many replies I can do.

Boys' bathroom is worse in BAM for the simple reason that they take the porn from the magazine rack, go to the bathroom, and... well, you know. It's a mess. I don't understand why they can't go home and do that. Even if you're a cheap bastard and don't want to pay for the magazine, there's still free porn on the internet!

Damn, now I have the internet's for porn song stuck in my head.

Thanks!

Up here the only BIG chain is 'Chapters' (which also owns the quivering corpse of Coles)

I usually deal with an independent store called "Book Express"

*Cries from the lack of bookstores in his area

All that's in my area is a mediocre Barnes & Noble...since I seem to be perpetually short of cash and don't have a very exciting life, I've applied there twice for seasonal work and no one's called yet.

Bastards!

Thanks to working at Kmart, I have several years of retail experience, I know how to run a cash register and I've been a reference librarian for 12 years, I even work at an information desk...yet every bloody time I'm in this store during the holidays (Halloween - New Year's), I see new people there. I applied well before Thanksgiving, too.

What? Am I overqualified or something? I really don't get it. Yes, I make quite a bit more than minimum wage as a reference librarian but all I'm looking for is extra cash during the holidays. Whatever the store pays new employees is fine with me.

SIGH! Sorry, needed to vent for a minute.

The only other bookstores involve a 30+ mile drive out of my county. I visit a Borders and there's a better Barnes & Noble store out there too.

As far as I know, Books a Million doesn't exist in NY as I've never heard of any around here. I'm curious to see one though.

Yes, as a fanboy and a librarian, I crave bookstores to geek out in and get bummed because I don't have access to very many.

Oh well...

Of course you're over qualified! First time you went there, they nearly begged you to be a manager! DUH!

Heh, thanks Fred!

I still don't get why the ninnies don't hire me, though *Checks to see if he smells...nope, still has that librarian fresh scent
