I mean, sorry about the unfortunate magazine thing and the apple tree, but it made for an awfully entertaining post. Why is it again that you don't have a blog? This is hilarious!

I always thought working at a bookstore would be fun...but then I got a job in an art gallery. Retail sales is soooo not my thing. I hear you brother! (And I'm one of the good ones - I always make sure the stuff goes back where it came from and have been known to "straighten" the magazine racks for you. Drives me bonkers. Inconsiderate gits.)

Such little joy in selling the things that had brought me some of my biggest life's joy. Who knew? I did a brief stint in a bookstore–and I left thinking SO many of the same things.

You got it 100% right. I only stayed a year. We used to bargain with each other over who was going to get stuck with the newstand. And gather all the coffee cups and half-eaten muffins from the bookshelves and rouse the sleeping homeless people from the bathroom stalls . I also worked in that same bookstore.

I was in charge of the children's dept. for most of this time, and it was absolutely the worst. It was the dumping grounds for everything-porn, mags, cafe dishes, and hordes of children who may or may not have even had parents in the store. Chills.
