Books and books For the 2nd or 3rd time, I have stopped in to visit jonmc at work, only not to find him.→[More:] I look outside, I look inside.. no jonmc. What am I doing wrong?

I stopped in on my way to the library. I looooove the library, and my pile of reserves, tagged and waiting for me. As what is becoming my habit after visiting the library, I had a shaved ice at BAMN! It was delicious (orange and watermelon).

Were you there at lunchtime? He was probably on a break eating a loaded sub sandwich.

I have a sad book tale. I ordered a book from Amazon UK and it didn't arrive even though they said it shipped. I inquired. They gave me a refund instead of the book. I'm pouting because I want the book, not a refund!

He gets a late lunch, I think, it was 2.30 the day I was there. Next time check Quiznos opposite the bookstore. They were already making his sub as we crossed the street.

I do generally stop by in the 2-3 window, so that might be it.

The bookstore's just a cover. He's really in the agency.

I saw the bookstore jonmc works at on Oprah today and I was like "WOAH!" and people were like "WHAT?" and I was all "I know a guy who works there!" and they were all "Oh."
I thought it was cool.

Please don't ask me why I was watching Oprah.

I was there today. If it was from 2:30 to 3, I was downstairs eating lunch, from 3 to 3:30 I was out by the carts smoking and reading. Next time ask for me, they'll page me.

If I worked at a bookstore, I would also be hard to find at times.
