Good evening/morning. I'm fairly sure I got that little part-time bookstore job.

[Writer]

Not a bad deal, if you ask me. I still need to call the owner in the morning, but this will be an interesting experience.

Hooray!

~Writer~

1. Woohoo!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Writer]

3. Yes! And not only did the owner not care that I have my Master's, but...

he completely supports my aim for a PhD. And I get to earn Mr. Writer a little beer money while I'm at it.

Thanks. :)

2. Congrats, my dear Writer!

I look forward to hearing how it'll be for you...

I'm thinking it'll be a good fit!

:toast:

[Writer]

4. I hope so.

I also will need to learn how to work the little adjacent coffee shop. Something I absolutely haven't done before. :)

Thanks - you West Coast DU'ers are great for late night announcements. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Yeah, we're a bunch of night owls!

:hug:

9. Get good comfortable shoes!

Bookselling is a job you'll never get rich from, but will always love. (The Advance Review Copies ain't bad, either.)

[Richardo]

14. I miss the advance copies

...and getting to borrow the new releases. :cry:

Bookstore was the best part-time job I ever could have had. It was really more like getting paid for a hobby.:thumbsup:

[Writer]

18. Actually they ask that we wear Hawaiian shirts.

So this will be interesting. :)

[Callalily]

10. Sounds like

a great gig! I love my bookstore people. They are in a class all by themselves!

[Writer]

19. Thanks!

I worked in a bookstore for a while when I was an undergrad. I always have loved the atmosphere. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. Congrats!

:toast:

[Writer]

20. Thanks, babe.

:)

[Wetzelbill]

12. very nice!

that sounds great, good for you. :)

[Writer]

21. Thanks, man.

I won't be earning much money at all, but I do hope this will provide structure in my day as I write and apply (again) to PhD programs.

[AllegroRondo]

13. Well done!

do you get an employee discount?

[Writer]

22. Thank you.

I'm not sure, but I guess I'll find out later this week at orientation. This is a local bookstore that opened only nine months ago, so I'm not sure if he can offer his employees any benefits.

[deepthought42]

15. Be careful...I'd know...lol

:rofl:

I may have used the employee discount a little too enthusiastically... *whistles* ex: I bought a 2nd bookcase and it's already filled up... my car is bookcase #3... :freak:


Still...Congrats! :toast:

[Writer]

23. Hehe!

That's awesome. But what's wrong with a few extra bookshelves of books, I say.

Thanks. :hi:

[deepthought42]

28. Nothing, what's wrong is a lack of space

for said bookcases... heh heh... ;)

16. Read Em And Weep

[Writer]

24. Hehe.

Thanks! :hi:

[Joe Fields]

25. Congratulations...I hope it suits you....

I meant to ask you yesterday, when you mentioned the nutty professor, if there was any movement on your book. I assume (and assuming always gets me into trouble) that you discussed going forward with him on that?

[Writer]

26. I'll PM you on that. :)

[applegrove]

27. Beware of finding books you love every day and walking out, not with cash, but

a pile of books every day.

[Writer]

29. Hehe - I hope so!

I really need to read more than I do.

:)

[applegrove]

30. I loved working in a book store for that very reason.
