« I’m Back!
What a Week off of Work Gets You »

West of the BORDERS South of the Sun

The other night in Aimee Mann Ipod land I was tipsily getting off the train at Ditmars when I spotted a familiar face from my brief time working at Borders in Mt Kisco. It brought me back to all my bookstore years I had in Mt. Kisco (there were 5 of them). I think that just about everyone at one point or another has had his or her time working at a Borders bookstore.

My time was 2 weeks.

In high school and college I spent many years working at a smaller bookstore, first called Royal Books then Encore Books and then called OUT OF BUSINESS (due to the Borders opening). I have many fond book store memories and many book store pals. But what I don’t’ have fond memories of are the 2 weeks I was demoted from Manager to “Book Seller” because “We all start as Books Sellers here at Borders and work our way up!”. I quickly got the flu from working with all the snot nosed kids in the children section, quit and made a hell of a lot more money babysitting the rest of my way through college.
