I even bore myself.

I haven't anything at all to say...really. Life is mundane. I even bore myself.
The biggest event will come this week when my son moves "my" book dept. to a more strategic position in the store. It's dicey becuz I'm "just" a volunteer--he's management but the gist of it is he knows squat about books. So I'm hoping he's gleaned something about the layout of a store--he seems to have bit of an eye for it.
I'm no expert, but I am about 5 years in the book biz on a very small scale. (It's really too bad that one cannot make any money in books unless one's name is Barnes, Noble, or Borders. Heh.) Can't wait to see what becomes of my dept. (that's what they call it).
I just got a Science Fiction/Fantasy section up in honour of my dad as we had reams of Poul Anderson, Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and many more donated all at once. Between Friday and Sunday, I went through about 700-800 books--at least half just plain messed up garbage--and always too many books trying to convert one to religion. I'm very careful when I deep-six a bible that some of the more Christian-types don't see me do it. We get soooo many and in very poor condition--not rare or valuable--just worn out--so they get tossed just as any other book of that condition.
One thing I've learned from helping in resale is people will quite literally donate anything. I'll leave it to your imagination but if it pops into your head--it's probably been "donated." No wonder I wear surgical gloves.

I'm tired as I got up way too early today to drive north to get my hair highlighted. That went fine (I sometimes think hair stylists are better counselors than real counselors--until they tell me they are getting their info from Dr. Phil's latest tome. ) It cost $60 for the 'lights and a haircut--is that a good deal? I haven't set foot in a salon in at least 10 years so I hope I'm saving money by driving up there. I did get to leave my top down both ways, even though it was a bit brisk with temps in the fifties. Sun was out, tho'--had no choice.

I've got a ton of eBay people that are not-very-patiently waiting for feedback from me. Just in case anyone cares, feedback on a buyer is completely devoid of meaning (unless said buyer stiffs you or maybe nags you to death). A+++ my XXX. It's a crock and I'm saying this with a 100% rating as a seller. I have so often just not said anything when people email me begging for feedback, then I give the standard "Yahoo for them-- they paid!"-type feedback response. I want to tell them to get a friggin' life! As long as they get another point--that's all that matters in the artificial world of on-line selling. Bleh. I'm in it for the money--I can be artificial with the best of them.
Ok then, off to fun-land. I hope if you were wanting to sleep, that reading this about put you out.

Cheers and good health to all!
