I'm a newcomer to your journal. I have a part-time job working at a Waldenbooks, and I'm also active in the SF field as a writer, reviewer, and sort-of-editor, so it's fascinating to see where what you're saying dovetails with my experiences to date, both in this post and the even more recent ones. :>
Like your friend, the bookstore job brings in some nice extra money, and is a way to socialize and get out of the house and interact with people constantly. It's hard, tiring, frustrating, and occasionally aggravating, but also fun, rewarding, and educational. :> And where else can I be paid to discuss books with people?
