Today was rough, one of those days where you hit the ground running and know in your heart of hearts that you aren't going to get everything done no matter how hard you try. And I didn't. I did however get all the Monday paperwork done, and talked to the radio station as per the owner to get a tag running for this week and next about Bryan's signing. Bless the owner, he really is behind me in these events, I mean I do all the leg work, all the staging, all the interfacing with the papers and the author and just about anyone else who will listen to me but he backs me up with the $$$ for the advertising. Still haven't gotten the book in, and that's just a tad worrisome but hey, we have 13 days to go and I'm sure it'll get here. It's just nice when it gets here early, right now I can't really talk too much about the book with customers, I mean they can't buy it so that really is a tease.The ones I know well I've already been talking to about it and they are delighted that we are having another signing, though really the funny thing is they keep asking about the other author and when is he going to be doing something. I always tell em to ask for me because I keep tabs on where he is and what he's doing when I can and hopefully we'll have him back either this summer or this fall for another signing. They are fun. Lots and lots and lots of work , probably over 100 man hours from start to finish, but oh so much fun. If you ever get a chance to go to a book signing -RUN- do not -WALK- to it and while you are there take a moment to really talk with the author and with the fans that have come out to meet them.Long Day Short Day
So I got the signing finally wrapped up (advert anyway) and then ran around the rest of the day like some mad dog tearing down displays and putting up shelf talkers and double and triple checking things and we still aren't all done yet. *sigh*

Sounds like a fun job, except for the work *grin*
It is an awesome job, ;) and I like the work usually. Btw, former homeschooler here-did all three actually, public, private, homeschool. Wish now I could have done homeschool all the way, and my brother who was also home schooled married a home schooled lady and they are planning on teaching their kids at home as well. Awesome thing, if you can do it!
