new books

Fun day at work. Learned to price things, and hopefully I am doing well. Worked two hours at the register that went smoothly aside from one screwed up transaction. I don't mind working the register so much, except when it's horrendously busy.

My sections are all coming into order nicely, and I am quite pleased. Spent a lot of time working on the cookbooks today, and I think that's what I will focus on when I get Saturday.

Looking forward to having a day off already. Though it might be a bit strained since Karen's lame duck boy just flew away. I knew there was a reason I didn't like him, why his comment made me so angry and stuck with me. One of those out of the blue, inexplicable break-ups. She's very sad, and it hurts to see her this way. It provokes that weird sense of chivalry in me, that I should perhaps go challenge this boy to a duel or something.

Made use of my employee discount, three days into the job. A book on the history of cereal, which is fun reading already, and an old book about the Baptist beliefs for my grandfather. It will make a smashing birthday present.

Wow! I've almost completed my training period and I only barely know how to price things, and I still only have one section. Maybe my store is just more in need of someone to work the register than yours. :)

When is your day off?

Working in a bookstore sounds like so much fun...although I'd probably spend what I made on books...so librarian would be a better choice for me, I suppose. I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself!! Once you get over the hectic bustle of school starting again and have an idea what your schedule will be like, let me know. Maybe I can sneak over one afternoon. : )
