Job is mine. I signed the contract late Friday. I start Monday. Need to train on their systems for a short while. Eventually move to nights...they are now talking 2am-10am...3 days (M-W) in the city and T-F work from home. I'll go with that cause I can still do Betts on a more limited basis but during other people's "normal" business hours.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Yeah!!!
Congratulations!!!

Congratulations, David!
Great that you have it!Originally Posted by wizardsrainbow
I did the 2am-11am shift for a year (~1979) working frozen food in a grocery store-the old days, no doors, no covers just 2 cold cold aisles.
It was tough. I'm sure you will persevere, and fortunately you can do 2 days at home.
Congrats!
Congratulations, David !!!

I am so glad to hear of your good news. It must be a huge load off your shoulder. First day in a new job is like 1st day in school, isn't it?. Knock them dead, David!.
Thank you all.
I put a post on the Inventory page of Betts Books trying to explain to people that I will continue to run Betts as best as I can while also holding down another job. Please read it and tell me if my message is clear enough. Thank you.
And thanks again to all of you. YOU are my core customer base, so I know you will understand if it takes me awhile to respond to an email or an extra day to ship out a book. It's nice to know that my customers will support me.

Sounds good David
Just out of curiosity: why exactly are you required to work night shifts, David? If you don't mind me asking
No problem. I am one of two Supervisory Analysts/Editors. There is a day guy and a night guy as there are 13 analysts (3 in China) that will submit reports at any time. I am the night guy to process reports that come in during the night and also to be on hand to process what happens/getspublished surrounding the Morning Meeting and quick notes the analysts put out after one of their company's announces some news.Just out of curiosity: why exactly are you required to work night shifts, David?

Congrats on the new job, David! It sounds interesting.
Working two days (nights) from home will be nice too!

Wow!! Some of those deals are incredible!
At the moment there's nothing I'm really interested in, but those prices are

I have a pretty large new consignment coming in this weekend. Guy is driving across the country to drop off all of his books...in the tens of thousands of $$. Lots of proofs, some Lettereds, some signed proofs etc. With this new job, it will take me awhile to organize it all and post it, but it's a couple hundered books easy.
Stay tuned

Oohhh noooo.... it's already driving me nuts that I can't just go ahead and buy all of Alan's stuff and now David sneaks in for a full frontal temptation assault!
Oh wel... such is the life of a collector.
But I'm happy you got yet another consignment deal David.
that's great news David!! Congrats!! Hey, call me when you are not busy, would love to chat about the new job!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Don't bother cataloging the Lettereds. Keep them boxed and send them on to me. I've got tens of thousands, but no books to buy!
