Single women headed households as independent widows, deserted wives, single mothers and spinsters, earning their own livings, often on the breadline in rural communities, but sometimes very successful in towns: especially in luxury goods and retail business, lending small amounts of money to familiar faces – trusted creditors.

things I’m saying to the tumblr void to avoid saying this to my coworker’s face: I need you to get a hobby besides complaining

(*I finally called him out because he was like ‘😱 we have a lot of work today’ when we got in and I was like you wished this into existence. You complained all day yesterday. And his response was ‘yeah I’d rather it be busy I go nuts’. Ok then 1) what was the point of the first message 2) please get a hobby)

(**he also should never work in healthcare he’s get eviscerated the first time he complained about it being quiet, the Q word is taken very seriously, like saying Macbeth in a theater, never say ‘quiet’ in an ER. Despite not having worked in healthcare for like 10 years now the lesson stuck)

#work shenanigans #i wish we could work a liiiiitle more independently #because I do not want to talk to him most of the time 🙃 #i mean I quit healthcare but then still did work mostly retail adjacent or service industry jobs #and that’s true there you NEVER complain about it being quiet out loud #because you will summon catastrophe #you learn to appreciate both rushes and the downtime to recover

Book-shaped building to revive Busan's fading book street

BUSAN ― It's 10 a.m. on a sunny April day in Busan's Bosu-dong. Off the main road is the blink-and-you'll-miss-it entrance to Bosu Book Street. The narrow, 200-meter-long passage is lined on both sides with independent bookstores.

by Kwak Yeon-soo

The bookstore alley in Bosu-dong was formed when a refugee couple from North Hamgyong Province (now North Korea) started selling vintage magazines when Busan became the country's provisional capital during the 1950-53 Korean War.

By the 1970s, more than 70 bookstores were established in the area, giving the neighborhood a unique character and spirit. "Bosu Book Street is our beautiful cultural heritage that was born out of the most turbulent time in modern Korean history. Since then, the street has retained its old charms. People overcame despair and healed the wounds of war through books," Kim Eun-ho, the president of Hangilsa Publishing, writes in his latest book "Into the Forest of Wisdom" (literal translation). Since the 2000s, the number of independent bookstores on Bosu Book Street has fallen by more than half due to the expansion of chain bookstores and e-books. Now some 30 bookstores remain on the road.

This is a great example of how the entire community including other businesses and retailers can come together and support institutional booksellers. (click through to the article and watch the nice video outlining the building and the history of Bosu Book Street) ~ eP

I hate working an office job!!!!! As a kid I always told myself I’d never take a job I hated and here I am, working a job I hate and applying to more!!! office jobs!!! that I’ll hate!!!!!! I want to do something creative, something that makes me feel fulfilled, but I’m poor and NEED to move my ass out of my house NOW. And I know a lot of people feel this way but I don’t want to be 70 looking back on my life and knowing I wasted it

#jaytp #i just wanna run a queer bookstore cafe is that so difficult #the answer is yes it is #honestly id even go back to retail if it wasnt for the customers and the pay #id happily work at an independent bookstore #i dont even need to run it #i just think an office job would murder me

[mercutiodidntdieforthis]

My job paying me better would fix at least like 40% of my stress I think

#I'm an independent contractor so I can't like unionize or anything #and it's online so I don't even know my coworkers smfh #but it's like damn. the need for money vs the mortifying ordeal of working way too hard for less than half of what it's worth #if retail jobs allowed you to sit on a chair that would solve the problem in a similar way lol...disability moment! #anyways that's enough venting for now

[idiealotdontworry]

the anti-shoplifting ppl on this webbedsite are ridiculous. if your employer genuinely punishes you bc someone stole from the store you work at, thats bc they suck and you should be mad at the company, not the ppl who had to resort to stealing to get by. but you gotta look out for #1 so bad that you're willing to forgo all sympathy for people who have it worse than u when big boss tells you to...ok

#personal #im too much of a chickenshit to steal but like........... #if its from a company worth more money than 10 generations could spend why the Fuck do u care #i've worked retail they dont pay you enough to care fr #if they're cutting ur hours its bc they want to and theft is the scapegoat of choice #so they can point your hatred towards ppl other than corporate #and it worked bc you're stupid #also all these ppl like 'buhhh stealing food is fine you need that but makeup and clothes are a big no-no!!' #Do you realize people need clothes. like generally but also to Get a job #because jobs have fucking Dresscodes and they more often than not Do Not provide u with the clothes they tell u to wear #Do you realize that most women are still forced to wear a full cake-face just to be even Considered for the most menial minimum wage bs #are there ppl who steal for no 'valid' reason? yeah. does that excuse your bs? no #obviously stealing from independent and small businesses is shitty. but if its like. idk fucking Best Buy. who the fuck cares

The New Era of Retailing

As I write businesses in the UK are heading into the crucial autumn trading period, after experiencing a washout summer and lack lustre spring they will be banking on an improved autumn/winter, but the September heatwave has not helped in selling new season merchandise. We’re now moving into the all important “Golden Quarter”for the retail sector that usually accounts for most of the year’s…
