Things I’ve been asked to do while working in retail

  • Locate a book called “The Position Sex Bible”
  • Confirm whether or not I wear pantyhose at work
  • Reveal who I voted for in the last presidential election
  • Find a good title on BDSM for beginners
  • Read the names of 60 oldies songs aloud over the phone
  • Push customers to buy books I have not read
  • Throw out other people’s lipstick-stained coffee cups
  • Tell high school students who wrote “Mrs. Dalloway”

If I were James Joyce…

… this might be the perfect time to begin writing my semi-autobiographical novel. But, things being what they are (we are living in postmodern and potentially pre-apocalyptic times, after all), I spend most of my days at work instead.

Look for new writing in this space soon. In the meantime, you might find some brief rants and raves here or here.

See you all in a little while.
