they are MOCKING me!!
Jun. 12th, 2003 03:14 pmHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is in the store right now.
Sitting, shrinkwrapped, on three skids.
They wo't let us even cut the shrinkwrap to get at the boxes until 11pm on the 20th.
I, and one of the managers, are truly annoyed that they won't even let us read the flyleaf.
I was grumpy all day because everytime I walked down the hall to get to the office or the stockromm, there they were. Just sitting there. Mocking me.

Date: 2003-06-12 07:16 pm (UTC)I'm trying to reproduce the sound that came out of my mouth when I read this, but I don't think I quite got it.
But FUCK.
That could quite possibly mean that there are boxes and boxes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sitting at the Barnes & Noble THREE MINUTES AWAY FROM ME.
How tight is security at bookstores, anyway?
fuckity fuck.
You have will power I could only dream of. I would've stuck myself to the boxes, trying to...idunno, SMELL the books, if I couldn't see
or tasteor touch.I'm so jealous. You've been within five feet of them. oahsokdfaoiej.
Don't worry, I'll get over it.
It's just. Harry. meep.
