Stock is up! Stock is up!

And then the team will decide such a venture is too expensive for them after the purchase and day nevermind.

Stock back down! :D

*snerk* Stock is up! A shiny nickel! Which still makes it well under my remaining stock options. :D

1. Weird. I don't like it.

2. It distresses me when the news people call it Barnes & Nobles.

1. Yeah me either, but if my job moved to New York I probably would not complain (hell, if I got laid off from this job I'd so be in Massachussetts in record time).

2. There's weird writing all over the article. :p But they only called it that in the headline, which are typically crap anyway. :-p

It's odd. I like Borders WAY more, and their card is so much better than Barnes & Nobleses.

I always feel weird in B&N. Even growing up when I didn't work at Borders. :-p The stores just didn't feel right for some reason.

They're creepy and corporate, and everyone there THINKS they're working in a trendy independent bookstore, and they're SO NOT.

It's not the people for me, though. It's the look and feel of the stores themselves. They just don't feel as comfortable. Granted, I've only been in about five stores, so maybe some of their other stores have the comfortable feel that I'm used to in Borders.

I should really check out [livejournal.com profile] paeryn's store. :p See what that one is like. We've got a relatively newish one near me that I've been in twice and really don't like.

Soon, we are just going to have one mega corporation for everything. There will be no competition anymore.
