Not that I'm expecting stalkers or anything but maybe it's not a great idea to be giving out my exact place of work on the internet. ;)
Let's just say it's a massive WOW! store (no joke, that's what it's called), and it's connected to a Good Guys - which is a store that sells stereos and tv's. Shitty and confusing concept for the customer imo. Wish it was just a record store and not a record store sharing the same building as Good Guys.
I do like indie record shops too, or very small chains - especially like the ones that sell used product. Back in the day, Tower ran a bunch of those indie stores into the ground...

I work at one in Southern California (obviously) and there's only one in town for a few miles, but if I told the forum which one it would be like giving out my physical home address.

Aced my Hebrew Scriptures exam yesterday morning, then bombed my Chemistry exam. I got an A on the multiple choice portion, but almost certainly failed the free-response portion. Probably have to settle for a B in the course.
At least school is now completely done, and I went out last night to celebrate. I don't remember several hours of last night and I apparently spent $60 on booze, because my wallet was empty when I looked in it this morning. Ugh....
Also, I bought a Sony 512 MB mp3 player today. Very nice.

As for today, nothing interesting happened except a very old, fragile little man with a touch of Alzheimers came into the store. He'd *just* heard about the cd format, and was curious to see what they looked like. He sat there at the front counter examining a cd, putting his little wrinkled finger into the hole and babbling about how marvelous an invention it was - for about 10 minutes.
It was actually kind of cute. But also a little bit sad. It was obvious the poor little old man was just lonely...

My advance condolences, Whirly. Hopefully things will turn back around for him. My thoughts are with you.

He's 93 years old, and very stubborn and has gotten through other minor complications.
This time it's much more serious, the whole family is expected to be there.
My son lost my mom's mother last year, and it looks like my son will be losing my dad's father this time around. It's never an easy thing, at any age.
Time is something I wish we all had more of.
Sorry for making a bummer out of this thread...
