Monday in the life..

"I think Jasper is perfect for Saturdays."
"I'll be glad to hand this day back to Jasper next week."
It's nice to feel needed :) though I'm not sure if this is praise or not..
I do feel bad askin for Dunc to cover me. Time with family was so worth it though, worked out stuff and tried on clothes for my Bros wedding in august, stomped his fiance at Catan.. ate good food. Overall a good weekend. Im glad to be back at work, its a nice way to unwind really. Ive been reading the collected works of HP Lovecraft in order though an its strange how much I wish I had the book with me here today.. its like I'm having withdrawls..


Monday log:

Slept in after the nice long weekend, checked my messages.. ran out with a shower and no breakfast, decided I had time to park in the garage downtown and run over to subway. They never have someone manning the counter it seems when Ive gone in these past few times, so I just banged on the stainless countertop like it was nothing.. Lady came right out and I didn't acknowledge doing that.. it was kinda fun. Kind of a jerk thing to do.. but I didn't do it that loud..

Shoulda got up earlier an made my own lunch to pack. Need waterbottle and lunchmeat. I gotta start budgeting, 7some for a sandwich and drink is gonna add up over the month. Made it to the store right at 10:59, turned on the lights, got the table out solo easy for once..

Catched up on Dunc's blog over the weekend.. sounds like he isn't used to saturday and the two mentions I get I don't know whether to take as praise or not, heh. Still, sounds like he had an interesting day, and its definitely nice to be needed. And apparently he likes my mix cds and my james bond music one. Either Im the only one these days listening to music or my cds have staying power, 4 out of 5 in teh player ae consitantly ones Ive put in.. I like getting mentioned in Duncs prolific blogging for once despite it being because of him covering me. I do like saturdays younger crowd, and there are always new faces. Hopefully I'm turning in good profits for Dunc. I decide to do a daily log too, seems like a good exercise.

-First people in, two older couples, browsed and one purchased two used books.

-Regular cleared out the 3 comics on his shelf, picked up the new american vampire issues. Forgot to ask if he wanted to be signed up while he was here- don't really feel like I can sign him up without his permission. But maybe this is him trying them out, and he'll ask next time. No harm done.

-Lady with purple lipstick and a brit accent came asking after travel books and saying shes looking for 'this one particular one' that she can never find. I pretty much know that means she wont find it here, but I show her the local travel section and the used shelves, encourage her that there's all kinds of good finds on those shelves, and end up directing her to the Bookmark. Hope it helps.

-Denim guy, earring, finds a used book, pays an leaves in under a minute.. wow.

-Guy in here browsing everything for the past half hour, maybe I shouldn't be blogging but he didn't seem to want to talk. 'Just looking" He's thumbing through the overstock and i point out the 1.00 issues Dunc labeled saturday. Found six he liked.

-Sign up a regular over the phone for marvel siege

12:24.. haven't had anyone in for a while.. take a break to eat. 30 minutes later still nobody.

-dang, almost an hour later, one shelf cleared out. Two. Sloooow afternoon...

Least it stopped raining. I was worried for a few that I might have to pull the table in.
