so anyway, the new job, it's as imagined, i didn't predict how much it would make my legs absolutely kill though, not sitting down all day, it's unbearable! also not being able to drink is awful too, i need coffee consistently between 9-11, and there's a costa in there tempting me all the time... the people are okay, the customers are actually generally really nice, which i wasn't expecting, probably because my only retail experience is bar work, where 90% of people are unbearable... the staff are okaaay, there are one or two people who are really nice, one who is annoying and the rest are just a bit dull, the main thing is, everyone thinks i look 20 so they all patronise me then the horrific fear that they are all LOADS younger than me, like, 19 and stuff, is too upsetting to me so i never ask how old and play up to being about 20...
most people are buying books for their grandchildren, so i like them, it's sweet. Overall, I just fucking HATE retail, it's horrible. Bring back libraries, bring back 2nd hand bookshops, down with 500 copies of clarkson.
I did start wondering as i stood and stared at it, who gets the royalties for Mein Kampf? i typed it into google, it's like the 2nd most common question, apparently in england it used to go to charity, in america i think the publisher keeps it now. anyway, sorry for that diversion, it's just on my induction day someone asked, 'what happens if you have to sell a book you disagree with like mein kampf' an the man said : 'just say- it's not somthing that i've read, but it is very well written and a definitive book on the subject' i was literally SO gobsmacked that i sat with my mouth open for about 10 minutes, it's become a bit of a family joke now...
anyway, had open studio on weds, where you open up your studio and people come and look round, was pretty good, also tiring, i'm glad i did it though, some people were very nice (mostly kids) and i even sold a few bits, some people were really pissed up on free booze and wouldn't leave, it's weird having people in your studio, it's like having strangers in your house! ithink i was a pretty good host though! schmoozing! telling everyone about the Grolar bear, it's a NEW SPECIES, apparently a Polar and Grizzly bear have mated, as they are going south/north to feed as their food runs low (global warming as always) and they have MATED and created a new species, a grolar, I hope it wasn't a prank, cause i have told everyone, wait, i'm going to look it up... i just checked, it IS real, it's not THAT new either, but more common now...
i just looked up 'Hybrid animals' on wikipedia, get these:
Liger:lion/tiger
WOLPHIN-whale/dolphin (???!!)
oh, the rest are rubbish, sorry to get your hopes up! LATERS
