You ever have those days at work where you just keep getting really stupid questions over and over again? It was like that today and I was pretty sure that my head was going to explode if I got one more dumb question before it was time to punch out.
Where is the nonfiction section?
Maybe this is only a stupid question to people working in a book environment. I haven't found anyone else who things this is not a stupid question so I'm apt to believe that it is dumb to everyone except the person asking it, though. It's hard not to sound like a jerk though when you tell them "it's everywhere that is not the fiction section....so, everywhere but right over there".
It's also not very amusing when you have some sort of argument with a friend at the bookstore and you then defer to a bookstore employee to solve your spat. I don't really care which one of you is right, and I'm not going to decide the fate of the argument for you. I'm not a referee, I'm just here to find and sell books.
Okay, /rant off.
Tomorrow is grocery shopping day and I can't wait. I love finding new things that I've never cooked before. Some people like to stick to the same old favorites, but I enjoy a challenge. I'm not yet up for those non-labeled freezer bags of miscellaneous meat that they sell at the Korean grocery store, but I will try some weird sauce that I've never seen. You have to pick your battles.
