My coworker Dayna and I were chatting the other day when she asked me what type of store I would open if I had the chance. It didn't take long for me to respond with a bookstore, she quickly added that it should be a used bookstore. Of course, that works. After thinking for a bit she decided that the store would also need to have hookahs. Brilliant. After coming up with a clever name [which will not be revealed until we get it trademarked] we decided that we would be business partners in this endeavor someday.
Today we were discussing how the hiring process would differ from that of our current place of employment. We decided that to work at our used book and hookah store you would have to pass a common sense test. The following is one question you may find on the test: "If the outgoing mail is taken away at four-fifty on Monday afternoon, four-fifty on Tuesday afternoon, and four-fifty on Wednesday afternoon, at what time does the outgoing mail get taken away on Thursday?" See, it would make sense that if a certain task is done everyday at the same time, on any given day that task will be performed at the time that it normal occurs. Seriously, this is what I have to deal with every day. Everyday, it's a gettin' closer.. you have my love.
Dead birds - another common occurence. Much easier to deal with than people with no common sense.

I would like to contribute to the opening of your store! I don't have any money I can lend, but I have tons of books!
PS: I feel your pain and frustration with employment...boy do I ever!
