I haven't posted in a while, for a few reasons.
1. I don't have any funny stories. You can stop reading now if you want.
2. I was busy.
More on 2: I found a new job last week. My "last day" at BookPeople (I'll still be on call) is April 15. I'm going to be working as a receptionist at a fancy salon/spa where, in addition to getting paid well and answering the phone all day (something I'm actually really looking forward to), I will get free services and huge discounts on girly products. So, in other words, in a few weeks you won't even know me anymore. I'm going to turn into a fancy real girl...
Not really. But I am actually really excited about it. It's been about time for me to move on for a time now, and it's seemed even more pressing lately. I won't have to miss the amazing people I work with, because I'll still see them all the time. I WILL miss placing books in people's hands. But I've gotten to do that for four years and I think I can take sleep soundly knowing I've told enough people about "The Brothers K" and "Clumsy" to last me and my karma awhile.
Yay!

congratulations, real girl. what salon is it?
in order to feel your blog up with more "posts" like i do, you should fill out that ridiculous survey i posted the other day. it's a wacky good time!
by feel, i mean fill. though it is pretty awesome to feel your blog up.
i can't believe you're leaving bp. i'm excited for you, but sad for me, as i already find myself missing spending time with you as it is.
Congrats on the new job. Sounds a lot more glamorous than landscaping (my un-girly fall-back job)... if I ever have to pee, I'm forced to crouch in my clients' begonias and pray that I don't get ticketed for indecent exposure.
Fortunately I live in Eugene, so nobody really cares anyway.
I hope you'll still recommend books on occasion... the ones you suggest are infinitely more dynamic and less stuffy than those acclaimed by most of my fellow English majors. Makes me wish I'd been unschooled.
