So, I love my job.
I love selling books. I love chatting with people about books. I love being around thousands of books all day. I love looking up information about books that people want. I love shelving the books that come in and discovering new books I never would have otherwise.
Also, as the person who hired me was leaving for the day, she stopped me and told me, "Everyone ADORES you." Which made me feel...incredibly wonderful.
Of course, closing tonight meant I had to vacuum, and I hate vacuuming. But it's a small price to pay.

I must admit, though I too LOVE my job, I sometimes miss the world of independent bookselling, I will definitely be by soon to visit you and engage in some much needed browsing of the literature. Plus I want to check the store out, looks like a cool place to spend an afternoon.
