Hi!

After 15 years in radio broadcasting, I left KMAS on March 31, 1998. In addition to reading books onto tape for Read Right Learning Systems, I spent some time on the yard in preparation for the next summer, our wedding.

I started working at Barnes & Noble Booksellers at the end of May '98, and have since become a supervisor. I love the job, my co-workers, MOST of the customers, and our product. I've never worked in retail before, and I figure if you're selling something, you can't beat books! After two years with B&N, I still love it. We've seen a lot of changes, but I'm still much happier there! One unexpected change was the repealing of the necktie requirement. After amassing a collection of nearly 200, I still plan on wearing them! Also, my supervisory position has switched from the broad combination of travel/languages/health/medicine/fitness/diet/nutrition/self-improvement/psychology/cooking/biography/audio (whew!) portion of the store to the fiction/mystery/romance/sci-fi/sports/true crime section. I now have (in my opinion at this early date) the easiest job in the store. I miss the close eye I could keep on the travel and cooking books, but I'm not going to complain.
