( Have you noticed how many posts I start with 'So'? Because it's a lot. Whatever, I am the boss of me. )

I start basically every entry with "so" or "hello, internet," so I feel you.

Also, polling my cubemate brilligspoons on whether I should write Mutants Who Know A Lot About Kids' Books, Mutants Who Know A Lot About Horror Movies, or Mutants Who Work At The Bookstore. (Mutants Who Answer Phones At A Mental Health Services Provider But Actually Spend Most of Their Time Talking About Mutants And Being Jerks, aka my current job, would probably be pretty boring.)

I bet you could make it awesome, though, using the jargon that your company uses (changing names to protect the guilty, naturally) and the ridiculousness that goes on. However! I will be excited to read anything you write for this.

MUTANTS WHO WORK AT THE BOOKSTORE.

Erik should be manager of the children's section.

NO WHY.

um, because it would be HILLARIFYING?

IN MY HEAD (and maybe on paper if I get all the shopping done that I have to), Charles is the kids' department manager, Erik is the receiving manager who is occasionally strong armed into helping out in the kids' department (he's TALL and sometimes Charles needs things off of high shelves and apparently it's ~*unsafe*~ for people to climb shelves like monkeys because of liability or something, whatever, I always did it anyway). Also, Charles is the only person at the stupid store who's halfway competent and Erik honestly likes spending time with him, as loathe as he is to admit it ( ... )

many years ago I worked in an indie in a university town, and we had a huge textbook warehouse with floor to ceiling steel shelving. at the start of each semester, what we called bookrush, we'd sometimes never touch the ground as we swung around the warehouse collecting books. it helped that a lot of us were rock climbers as well. good times. :)

FOLLOW YOUR BLISS. I just like the idea of Erik terrifying small children but also sekritly being a big softy and doing all the voices at story hour.

God, I love it already.

Oh my, Kait! I love it so!

Erik would so work in receiving because he could listen to whatever music he wanted and haul big boxes. Also, with the not having to deal with too many people.
