And I begin my 15th day in a row of work… Dan was supposed to be back in by now, but he’s got an inner ear infection in both ears. I really want to be angry/frustrated/upset/grumpy, but I’ve had these infections before, and I know first hand how painful they really are. So I trudge, Sisyphean, once more to a pile of never ending tasks.

Anyone want to give me a massage?

Over the course of this week, the store has managed to miss several special orders, failed to get in several new products, and missed the sign-up dates for Free RPG day. These are all rather important things, and each of them can be blamed on the Owner, through either laziness or incompetence. Either way, he needs to stop working in the store, and handle the various books and bills from elsewhere.

Any suggestions of how I go about convincing him of this?

It is a bit of a relief to know that it only takes a medium-sized mountain of evidence to effect any sort of change in store policy. After only four different people asking yesterday, the store is actually going to start selling energy drinks. This is good.

Not as good as if Bawls had actually decided to sponsor us, but that’s their loss. Hell, we get more people in the store every Friday night that any LAN in the North Bay.

Also, this weekend, what with the magic and the comics and the screaming kids, will be hell. That is all.

Scion has sold out exactly *looks at clock* 42 minutes after we got it in. Apparently, and I’m going out on a limb here, two copies aren’t enough supply for the demand of several hundred White Wolf gamers. Of course, no one asked me until it had already been ordered, so…

What bothers me most is that now people will go buy their copies elsewhere, and there will be complaints as to why we aren’t selling more White Wolf books. So, if you’re reading this, and you do want a copy of Scion, buy it from us and I’ll discount it. Down with corporate megastores, save the Empire?
