Tonight's my last night working P/T at B&N
:cry:

The end of an era. Now I have to pay for books like everybody else. :(

On the plus side, I get to spend a lot more time at home. :D

1. Good luck.
If your local library is as good as mine (Orange County FL) you'll be just fine :)

4. Congratulations.
The best time of year to leave literary retail. Good luck with whatever comes next.

6. Both!
Booksellers can borrow any hardcover for 2 weeks and return it.

If you want to buy, a generous discount. :)

8. I know it's a big chain
But, guy...you got to work with books. A dream job, to me. :-)

Congrats to the extra time at home. :thumbsup:

9. What made you give up the P/T job?
I've recently started going back to the library. Of course, I'll always browse at B&N and pick up the new stuff I can't resist.
