Sep. 11th, 2012 01:06 pmWe opened 6 minutes ago. I am already done for the day.
Today is cash-turn-in day and there were like 6 different freaky-weird things that were wrong with the money drawer, none of which I had been involved in causing, but all of which I had to investigate and fix. (OMG, if a patron pays $.70 for copies and you end up having to refund them $.30, don't write that you refunded $.70! This seems entirely obvious to me. Perhaps it is not to other people.)
Also, I had this conversation with the first patron through the door:
Patron: ::brings season 2 of Angel to the counter:: Do you have the first season of this?
Me: Sure, can I put that on hold for you?
Patron: Yeah. This looks like it would require knowing the backstory.
Me: Probably, yes. Have you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Because this is a spin-off. If you're interested in this, you might want to watch Buffy too.
Patron: No, I feel like that would have too many vampires.
Me: ...the main character on Angel is a vampire. I mean, he's a good vampire but still. Vampire.
Patron: Oh.
Me: I guess you don't want season one?
I really want to go home and knit, you guys. I could work on my sweater, that I dug out of the knitting basket where it has languished since last winter. But no, I am at work, explaining that Angel is a vampire.
At least I have good tea.
