24 Hour Madness Marathon Shift Log - Part 1

I embarked on a 24 hour shift today. Don't weep for me.

I run a comic shop and I'm understandably mocked by those who do actual labor to put food on the table.

I opened the doors at 8 am for our 24 hour marathon sale to celebrate the opening of the Astound Comics Back Issue Emporium which is simply a hallway filled with over 10,000 back issues. We never sold back issues before so these are virgin. There are treasures. We don't do many sales so this is an event.

To celebrate, I am going to man the store for the entire 24 hours. My life record is a bunch 16 hour shifts. However, I am a notorious puss when it comes to hard work so after the 2 am hour things could get very interesting.

It is now about 1:00 pm and everything is going well. We had a small rush at 8:00 am. and have already seen a couple hundred dollars worth of potentially ebay-able stuff go out the door for $2.99 each. I probably should have gone through this stuff before I started selling it.
