New job!

I’m starting a new job today!! Pray it goes well. It’s a dream job working at a used book store. Most days it’s from 3-7, so only four hours a day. Just what I was looking for. Today is 7 hours because they need to do training. It will be a long day. But I love books. I have over 2500, so it’s a perfect fit!

Almost! I’m working on doing those I’ve missed. And one shelf is my husbands. Not super interested in those ones.

You are my kind of person! I live to read! I always tell people, some people escape through drinking or drugs. I read. What better way is there to put on someone else's life for awhile? My last house had a finished basement with a full library sorted my genre and alphabetized. I had to cut back when we moved to this house but fortunately my kids took many of them. I used to work in an independent bookstore until it closed. I loved what I did and who I worked with. It's a different kind of person who works at a bookstore. I envy you. Have a wonderful time!

So how was it?

StacyHayward in reply toSandydemop

Somethings are going really well, some I’m still struggling with. The system they use isn’t very streamlined, so the learning curve is huge so I have taken a lot of notes. I struggle the most when a customer brings up a book that somehow wasn’t priced. I’m not confident at all coming up with pricing. Everyone assured me I’m doing great but starting Monday I’m on my own 😩
