Had the scare of a life time today. We've been had a rat problem, and there's not really much we can do about it. Even if we got rid of the current ones, that's only a band-aid solution. Since our house has a ton of holes in it. Anyway, another pest has discovered the rats. A snake. Was getting out of my bed, and stepped on a f-bomb snake. It was at my bed.


I have had such a good day today.


I thought it would look great with my fursuit. First time using it in suit, I almost cut a friend's dick.


I do like working in the store to be honest. >w> Totally bought a sword recently.


We get a 27% discount on the special days we're allowed to shop at our home store. Otherwise it's a 20% discount at every other Goodwill.


@Koah: It's to prevent us from getting all the good stuff before customers get a chance. But we are allowed to shop at other Goodwills just fine, lol just not ours except on special days. >w< I did manage to snag a Larc en Ciel cd and Rock-a-Doodle.


Yep. Like we just had really nice Michael Jackson and David Bowie records come in, and my boss and I wanted them so bad. But because we can't shop at our own store, they were got customers. XD


Dude working at the Goodwill Bookstore has been so dangerous for me. Like I have so many books now, and like no where to put most of them. It could be worse though. Goodwill employees can't shop at their own stores except on special days. That helps a little bit.


@Koah: Yeah I can get that. Though I did have a woman yell at me that 3.99$ is too much for a hardback in new condition. Which is just ridiculous for a few reasons. One of them being I don't set the prices, and I cannot lower the price just because you're salty.


Sunday I got a comic that has the earliest version of Batwoman. Long long long before the red haired lesbian we all know a love. Back in the 50s or so when she was intended to be a love interest for Batman, to prove that he's not gay with Robin. She wasn't very popular though, and was replaced by Batgirl. Then she disappeared for a long while. Then came back as a completely different character.


@Koah: We've gotten a few autographed books into our store (I work for a Goodwill Bookstore). Lol luckily no one caught that autographed book. We're supposed to hold onto autographed and old books to check how valuable they are. And price them as high as we can get away with. Though sometimes autographed books slip through the net and end up where people can find them for much lower prices.


@Koah: I only have two signed books right now. Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Now Sherrilyn McQueen), and a book I picked up at a convention Saturday. But I do own some comic books that could be valuable, I need to get them graded to be sure.

I want some of our valuable books so bad, but I just cannot drop that much and I don't want them in my house. I live with smokers.

@Wildfire: It is actually priced that at our store.


@Wildfire: Yep, and the Shakespeare. Luckily they didn't get any of the truly valuable ones. Right now we have an Oscar Wilde novel that is worth 400$.


@Wildfire:
@CooperationIsKey:
Oh my heart absolutely broke when they took those, and some of the older Shakespeare books we had.
