God, these damn books are heavy! I am moving 5000 of them out of my apartment.

I have the car packed with 'G' right now and am off to deliver them to the bookstore-in-the-basement at my house.

Friday and Yesterday I moved A-F and put them on their proper shelves, alphabatized by author.

At this rate, I might be done by February. :D But it will be worth it. I have room in the basement for another 25,000 books, which are in boxes still.

Then I set up my wireless router and set the laptop in the basement and have my workstation all ready to go so I can get back to listing more books for sale.

I could really use a personal assistant; anyone want to help? :9

Be back after unloading...

1. Hey

I'm going to need a job soon. ;)

[RetroLounge]

6. The interview process can be lengthy...

:evilgrin:

RL

[Callalily]

2. Ohhhh . . .

nice offer, but only if I can tele-commute. :rofl: You're a little south of me. And I'm really not ready to give up my full-time job.

Hypothetical question. If you were going to be at a dinner and Ellen Kort, First Wisconsin Poet Laureate was going to be in attendance, what question would you ask her? Most of my poem experience comes from reading your daily selections. Before that, my brain was poem resistant.

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

7. I am not familiar with her

I would go first and buy her books, read her poems, then ask her about her writing process.

and also to sign the book I bring with... :D

RL

[Callalily]

11. Sound advice,

but the dinner is highlighting a Wisconsin author, I've read two of that authors books, and just about to start a third. Good thing these things don't intimidate me. Ms. Kort is a guest. And oh yes, definitely book signing - hopefully for both.

:) SF

3. The offer still stands

RL

[RevolutionaryActs]

[RetroLounge]

12. Got to work off the buddha belly somehow...

Leaving now to deliver "H" and "I".

:hi:

RL

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Hi to you too..

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[LynzM]

14. I'd offer....

But man, the commute would kill me! :rofl:

Good luck with it, RL! I'm jealous of all those books! 'Course, I'd never get any work done; I'd be too busy reading the inventory!

[RetroLounge]

17. "too busy reading the inventory"

yeah, I have that problem. Also shoplifting is a big issue now.

Somehow I keep finding the missing books on my personal bookshelves :rofl:

RL

[LynzM]

19. LMAO....

:rofl: "Shoplifting...."

[Dangerously Amused]

RL

:hi:

RL

[BarenakedLady]

21. You done good

Give yourself a rest. :yourock:

[RetroLounge]

23. I feel like I had a workout, that's for sure..

Next stop, the couch... :D

RL

[mzteris]

22. I know -

have a DU meetup at your place, but people have to carry a box of books in order to get the beer!

You'd have 'em all moved in no time flat.

:rofl:

[RetroLounge]

24. Ooh, I like the way you think!

:rofl:

RL

[RetroLounge]

25. J-K packed, loaded and delivered...

If I keep this workout going, I might get into good enough shape for a shirtless pic...

Nah...

RL

[RetroLounge]

26. This post brought to you by the letter "L"

as in, lower back.

Unpaid interns, yeah, that's what I need...

:9

RL

[lildreamer316]

28. Pay them in books!

Just an idea.....

[lildreamer316]

27. Actually.....

if I were in your neck of the woods; I would LOVE to help! I luuuuuuuuve books; and you'd just have to put up with a 3 year old in one room of your house for the duration (hee hee).
Seriously; good luck; and I will be shopping when you have it going.

[RetroLounge]

29. The 3 yr old would be fine

with my 6 and 8 yr old...

the store will reopen tomorrow online. I had it closed for the holidays and the move.

:hi:

RL

[RetroLounge]

30. M-N-O-P

Getting there...

and the store is open again. Now I have to pull books from 2 locations.

I need a bigger car...

RL

[RetroLounge]

31. Q-R-S

and so it goes...

very few authors begin with a "Q"...

"S" is a huge one, gotta make 2 trips just for "S"

RL

[swimboy]

32. Congrats on moving your huge S

Now it's time for T.

You really need to post a pic of your bulging














biceps when you get done with this operation. B-)

[RetroLounge]

33. ...

:rofl:

You wanna help me with my "S"?

:9

RL

[swimboy]

35. Hehe

I've been admiring your S for some time now. I think I wanna piece of your S on my Paypal account! :9

[RetroLounge]

36. I do have a nice S I've been told...

for you it would be free...

:D

RL

[MissMillie]

Not very practical for me to do at this time though.
