Wow! LJ is getting rid of invite codes! This makes me happy (and a little jealous that I paid for two months to get mine).

Plus, I like the idea of getting paid time for my unused codes.

So I suggested something to R (the guy who started the bookstore) about staff recs. And he said they had had it in the past, but the problem was that they'd generally run out of the recced book too fast, being unsure of supply and all. But then, I was thinking more of a general list of recs, like "Oyce reads fantasy with a tendency toward YA and fairy tales" and a list of liked authors and books. And he liked the idea! So what might actually happen now is it could be a special display -- each employee could get a certain amount of time with two shelves and just stick whatever they liked on it, with a list on the side for more recs. Yay! I feel all good, like I am effecting good change and who knows what. Plus, it's an idea I've always liked because I never know what to get in a bookstore (or I know too much) so I used to stock up on recs online and on Amazon and then go to a real-life store to browse.

And it makes me happy because if I ever had a bookstore, it's something I desperately want to do.
