the boss told me today that he wants to eliminate a bunch of stock out of the back room. I then restated my desire to purchase a set of books from him. He then offered to rent out a storage unit and fill it with the set of books that I would like to pick up from him. The only catch is that I have to pay him back for the unit after I buy them off of him. Pretty sweet deal considering that I would be getting my normal hourly wage to extract them from the back room. Life may just a little bit of fortune to it after all.
At least we got the exploding muppet....
