*grins ruefully* I currently work in retail - trying to change that because I've had enough - and with a severe weather warning out work was rammed with people stocking up on everything. I supervise on Monday evenings and I just hit the ground running and didn't stop. Didn't get off the shop floor until almost half an hour after closing. D: No, working in retail hasn't made me bitter or cynical or anything. >.>

*nods* I hate that. It can be hard enough finding one copy let alone multiple ones and half the time they're ridiculously expensive. :(

*grins* I... have clothes piled on a chair so they don't take up space I could use for books. I'm not a naturally tidy person anyway, which I suppose doesn't help.
