Yesterday was the last day of finals at the University of Denver, and all the students are now on spring break, heading to Florida, Mexico, the Costa del Sol, Jersey City, and all of the other hot spots for partying college students. The students might be partying, but the work goes on for the staff at the bookstore preparing for the spring quarter. The University of Denver outsourced the DU Bookstore, where I worked for 28 years, to Follett Higher Education Group back in 2012, laying off the entire staff, but after all those years, I still think about all the work we had to do in such a short period of time, especially preparing for the spring quarter. These days, of course, my only duty during spring break is walking my sister Susan's dog Blackberry across campus, as seen in the photograph above, so she can piss on the grounds. And no, that is in no way meant to be a negative comment about DU's past actions. I am a much bigger person than that, right? Right?
