Also in the world of books: I am fulfilling a lifelong dream. I have a job at a bookstore!

And by a job I mean a volunteering gig at the local used bookstore, but it's like a job because I'm required to volunteer by Americorps (because Americorps thinks I am an Energizer bunny who never needs to sleep) and THEREFORE I am getting paid for it, sort of, indirectly.

In other news: one of my college friends might possibly be getting a job a mere three hours away from me. Hooray! I'll have a social life! Of the "Once a month we meet and eat something delicious in Minneapolis" variety, but hey, that's something! She's my foodiest college friend, so I think that would work out well, too.

Also she would be employed at a job she really wants, doing science. And that would be cool for its own sake. Fingers crossed!

Awesome!

I sort-of-worked at a used bookstore in high school, but it was a ghetto place filled almost completely with romance novels. When I started, the fiction section lacked any order beyond "not romance."

I imagine your adventure will be much more mainstream. :)

Also, it's a well-known fact that sleep is for communists.

Pah. Sleep is for decadent bourgeois capitalists! Communists, in solidarity with the working class, remain ever awake and watchful! Or something.

Should I take it that you brought order to the chaos of the fiction section?

It took an entire week, but yes. The owner kept wandering by and giving me this look like I was completely unreasonable for alphabetizing her books.

I also organized all of the various romances by series and number so she forgave me.

Well of course she looked at you funny! Didn't anyone ever tell you that alphabetizing is for Communists?
