OMG!!!! omg omg omg!!!
Unclassifiable printed ephemera --that's ME!!!!
This is the HUGEST boost possible. When I saw it this morning, I was literally shaking with joy and pride for us all at the store!
And for me.
I've felt really worn down at work.
I didn't mention here because I don't want to keep complaining, but despite Big Boss's promise (he'd literally said, "Trust me, I will get you this raise"), I got 36¢/hour LESS pay raise than I'd requested, so I'm still paid 25¢/hour less than the cashier who started in January.
I wrote just now to management saying,
"What must I do to prove my worth? Please reconsider and pay me the little bit more I asked for."
But, the uppity-ups notwithstanding...
I AM SO PROUD OF THE STORE.
Gotta go now...
MUST PUT OUT MORE EPHEMERA!!!

Congrats to the store and its people!
ReplyDeleteI think that anything that gets called "ephemera" is ultimately, somehow, classifiable.
job well done, congratulations - you deserve a million dollars!
ReplyDeleteExcellent and congratulations! I wish I could visit your store! Hope you get the raise. You deserve it and more!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! That's awesome! I love seeing your photos of your book section here on your blog, so I'm sure visiting would be even more amazing.
ReplyDeleteMICHAEL: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFunny they said "unclassifiable ephemera:... I hadn't thought of it till you pointed it out, but of course as a librarian, I agree it's all classifiable---letters, travel brochures, museum entrance tickets, playbills, airplane tickets, etc.
Maybe they meant something more like "random"?
LINDA SUE: Well, my boss did say I'd get the extra 36¢/hour, so that'll add up to a million eventually... (Ha!)
SARAH: Thank you! I wish you were in town, not so much to visit the store per se, but so I could give you some of the old dolls and things that get thrown out.
(THough I think you do not need more stuff, right, as you are trying to clear out...)
STEVE: Thanks! I do feel awesome about our win.
The BOOK's section really is a little bookstore, and like all used stores, the fun is in how it changes all the time.
I appreciate their continued existence, but I don't really enjoy Barnes & Noble---always the same (clean) stock, plus new releases...
