Take pictures of yourself in Photobooth:
[22:25] grezakster: guess where I am
[22:25] lacrosse9008: home!
[22:25] lacrosse9008: aka bobst
[22:25] grezakster: YES
Other thoughts:
I’m tempted to take a class called “V45. 0865 – TPCS: APOCALYPSE NOW? THE LURE OF NOSTRADAMUS” in Spring 2010
You will never be alone in Bobst – whether its 4am Monday morning or 8am Saturday morning.
Work was [...]

I spent a good three hours saying the following phrase to every person that dared to walk past the World History/Politics Aisle:
“If you’re ready to pay, follow the arrows.”
I’ll agree that shopping in the store is confusing, but what really aggravated me is that I’ll say this to a group of two-three people, and [...]

I’ve officially been working at the NYU Bookstore for a year. It’s a day I’m not expecting anyone to recognize, though my boss surprised me by claiming that he knew it’s coming up. “I have it written down.” I’ve had my odd and random jobs over the years, but working for a big-name corporation (IE: [...]

It’s a Brave New World, Hombre
Customer: Are these shorts with NYU on the back for men or women?
Male employee in ghetto accent: Miss, would you let your boyfriend wear that on his ass?

A heavy, wooden ladder was a few inches away from falling on me at work today. Dusting shelves is dangerous.

Apparently I’m the only one who almost rolled on the floor laughing over this, but my boss’ idea to place a couple of teddy bears on the edge of the staircase towards Textbooks to SCARE customers away from entering five minutes before closing was absolutely hysterical.

I’m getting extremely tired of having my work ethic critcized in the store considering that I’m one of the few student workers who spends their entire shift WORKING.
Apparently leaning against the registers with an a nasty attitude and Oren’s coffee cup in one hand is more work than shelving a cart of books and pulling [...]

Me: “You’re Catholic and you don’t know what Beezlebub is?”
Employee #1: “I was raised Spanish Catholic, I don’t know”
Me: “I was raised Polish Catholic and I know what it is”
Employee #2: “and I was raised Irish Catholic. Combine the three together and we know NOTHING”

Something that always fascinated me is how people end up being where they are, especially in terms of jobs. Did they go to college first? What did they major in? How did they end up with the job? It’s really easy to estimate at most retail stores how long an employee has been working there. [...]

I woke up at 3pm.
I’m still impressed with NYU safe ride because all I heard about it in the past was complaints. Granted I’m probably the only person requesting safe ride at 3am on January 11th from Water Street to Broome Street.
Where the hell did this break even go?
The two weeks in the Poconos are [...]

Athina, looking at her facebook pictures: “Yeah, I stalk myself on facebook”
Me: “No, that’s called narcissism”
Todd: “Oh my God.. I’ve been out of college longer than you’ve been alive.”
Frankie: “I can’t believe I’ve been working here for almost seven years.”
Me, without really thinking about it: “Here’s to seven more”
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen [...]

I fear for NYU
Future applicants’ parents are vicious.

In true first day of school tradition, I cannot sleep. But for once I am not tossing and turning, predicting tomorrow or my semester. Instead I am tossing and turning because I can’t stop reviewing my workday. Living here over the summer and working a couple of jobs really altered my perspective on my “young” [...]

I don’t know what’s more impressive: the fact that I fell asleep for 12 hours at 8pm, or that I took off my sweatshirt in my sleep without waking up.
This is the second time I passed out after working at the NYU bookstore. I guess it’s understandable if I only sat down for 20 minutes [...]
