karen's Reviews > Steve Jobs

If I were you, I might start thinking about those ghoulish thoughts...yikes

Haaaaah. If anyone comes up and asks you this question in person, please take photos.

i really should cultivate a "customer wall of shame"

you have no idea the shit i hear....

that is too funny! I can only imagine the smart commentary running in your head!

it is sorrowful, bewildered commentary

I do know. I used to work in a B&N, don't forget!

i think you should set up a section in the RA group called "the shit I hear." I'd love to read it and be sorrowful and bewildered with you.

hmm - maybe i should just start a writing segment for that - i wouldn't want to clutter the group up... i has to be professional, right?

I would read it ..what would you call it ? the rantings and ravings of......a girl with a paper to write barely hanging on to sanity maybe? or a crafter who is making christmas from cat fur? or a quick griller of grilled cheese?

tales from the book factory - by someone who should know better.

10 years ago - I was involved in a theatrical production of Diary of Anne Frank - and...yes.. there were many people who asked if she would be speaking at the event...and I would totally read your "the shit I hear" writing segment:)

wow. that is even worse....

walter isaacson was here signing. he is still alive.


orrrr isss heeeee????

we got pastries, so it wasn't the worst.

Tell them he'll be there. They deserve to be disappointed in public.

and mocked. they need so much mocking.

I was under the impression until late last week that this was a memoir written by Steve Jobs, I'd even told some customers that it was written by Jobs, finished and already slated to be released before he died. I'm very aware of the books in my section.

oh, greg.

I didn't think there could possibly be an event for this book and thought the man who called asking about an event for the book was fucking retarded. Opps.

you have just made my "shit i hear" wall.

Also for the record, I never thought that Einstein or Franklin wrote the books about them that Walter Isaacson penned. So I'm not totally stupid.

(will someone now please take my lead position away from me, shot me in the head and put me out of my misery? See I'm totally inept at my job!)

Apparently a customer called and asked if Steve Jobs was autographing his book at the event. When the bookseller informed him that Mr. Jobs had died his response was: so it's just a q&a? I think if we hosted a q&a with zombie Steve Jobs it would have been far more interesting.

fantastic. just fantastic.

I can't possibly believe that people buy this book and read it, too me it just seems like a last apple thing to buy and have, like a thing to show-off.
idk, so many of my friends who don't read went out and bought this one

but it doesn't even have apps!

Yeah btw, even though it is hilarious and unthinkable, in reality many people are clueless about notorious facts.

we are living in an internet age!! even i am aware of things, and i am oblivious to nearly everything.

But you use your brain and you READ. For some hard to explain reason people often confuse me with some individuals who barely have any resemblance to me. I am a physician and believe me, the names I've heard of some medications are beyond funny. Sometimes I can't even guess what drugs people refer to when they coin some name on their own. In my ward there is a clear sign STAFF ONLY on one of the doors. I think that door is favourite for just about everyone. People don't read and they don't pay attention. Not sure why, though.

wow. and i assume you are not hundreds of years old. this is remarkable.

Hardly surprising...my High School world history teacher tried to tell us Queen Elizabeth I had nine kids. I politely informed him (after class as to not embarrass him publicly) that he had confused Elizabeth with Victoria. He refused to admit his error and assigned me a report on the British monarchy for disagreeing with him.

thats just sad that they dont know hes dead
i mean it was all over the news

oh, man - i hope that paper was full of factual errors!

this [the original comment] really made me laugh. it's sad, but i laughed nonetheless! :-)

sorrowful laughter... the best kind..

ha hilarious

Did you get similar queries for that John Adams book, is what I really wanna know....

I know they did a tribute event to some dead poet and people were asking if he was going to come sign. I want to say it was yeats but I'm not 100%.

i think you are right. it was yeats.for that annual yeats day they have that no one ever comes to.

I'm surprised you don't have a customer wall of shame! I think everyone in retail and/or customer service should invest in one.

i know. we should start a notebook. let's do that today.

...a new "writing" section for your profile, maybe? that would be fantastic!

good call. we will start with a notebook, and when there is sufficient content, i will post it.

Brilliant. :)
