Are you a writer then? But yeah, of course. I'll send you the information right now. Thank you so much!

Getting paid to read is second best to getting paid to write so that sounds perfect.  Just PM me the address later, give me a time, and I’ll report for duty.

Would have been more embarrassing if I forgot to get dressed before driving myself to the ER. 

How embarrassing.

I don't think it gets more uncoordinated than busting your head open on your bathtub. Though, I've never really had a chance to try on a dry surface. That might change things. You're seriously my favorite person in the world right now. I'll obviously pay you what you'd make as a regular employee and you can read if there's no customers in the store. We have a good selection so I'm sure you'd find something there to interest you.

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like the best idea especially if you’re as uncoordinated as I am.  Which for your sake I hope isn’t the case.  I’m serious.  I’m getting a little stir crazy in my apartment, so it would probably be good for me to get out for a little while.

Dancing. Or attempting to dance and busting my head open when I failed.

…doing what?

I'll never understand how teenagers can afford a place in New York. 

I'm actually exhausted.

Thanks but I'm fine. It was just a good reminder that dancing in the shower is probably a bad idea. That would be amazing if you're serious. I know you love reading which is pretty much all you need to run the shop. That and a working knowledge of basic arithmetic. 

I’m sorry to hear that.  Are you okay?  I have zero to no retail experience but I can come help out if you need some extra people.

Nah, I broke my skull.

Did you break your legs?

That sounds like it might be particularly loud.

I'm actually exhausted.

We only have two regular employees And I may have a concussion and a doctors note saying that I can't work until Saturday.

Why so understaffed?

#c: dallas #dallasdash

[eileengibson]

Tell that to them. They complain when I make them work twenty. I'd hate to see what they would do if I told them they had to run the place until I'm allowed to come back to work.

That’s not even that bad.

So is making the only other employee in the store work more than 48 hours in a week. I think I'm choosing the lesser of two evils.

That’s illegal.

Learned your lesson for what?

I'm actually exhausted.

This weekend just proved to me how idiotic people can be, although you think by now I would have learned my lesson.

Does anyone with retail experience want to work a couple days under the table?

#lesstarter

[eileengibson]

That sounds so good, I think I may have just drooled on myself a little bit.

Today,

I made a perfect cake! Strawberry and chocolate cake. Does anyone want? You have to try it!

Maybe you should try reading her some Shel Silverstein. Kids love him. Oh, I work at A Novel Idea. Do you know it?

This kid is the devil. What shop?

I saw a little bit through the buildings as I walked home from work. I haven't gotten to see them for real in a few years.

Did you get to see any of the fireworks at least?

#c: dallas #dallasdash

[eileengibson]

Oh.. A lot of kids come into the shop and they always spill something or damage the books. I can see how that wouldn't be fun.

I’m a nanny to a seven year old.
