I haven't had a whole lot to blog about lately, and am a little disenchanted with the internet to be honest.

I'm working at the gun store now. Selling guns is much easier than selling books, because everyone who walks in either

A) Have no idea what they want, and need you to pick a gun for them.

or

B) Knows exactly whay they want and just need you to hand it to them.

Books, on the other hand, do not conform to this nice little way of doing things. Everyone who comes in the bookstore is either

A) Looking for something no bookstore on the planet carries and which is exceedingly hard to get ahold of,

B) Isn't actually planning on buying anything and just want to come scan our books for their Kindle,

or

C) Wants "A blue colored book published sometime in the 80s, and the authors name starts with a letter in the english alphabet, though I don't remember their full name, what the book is called, what it's about, or even what's on the cover besides it being blue, or maybe red".

Of course, there are a few downsides to the gun store (a particular co-worker comes to mind, and it's alot harder of a job occasionally - I never had to run thousands of rifle cases up a long flight of stairs at the bookstore, for example), but my bosses are really nice people, and I'm being paid what can only be called "stupidly well" (let's just say I make more than alot of people who live in camps). So I can't complain too much.

There's not a whole lot else new, really.

  3. Yup, that's pretty accurate. Looking for a job in my new location marks the first time I've actually had to drop off a resume anywhere since 2010.
