Seriously, I gave up working at Barnes and Noble because of some of the interesting people that were making it difficult to get things done.
You will never believe this one. I am at the public library. There is someone talking loudly on the cell phone. I kid you not. It is silent except for this man talking.
Where can I find a quiet place to work?
It gets better. Someone actually spoke up! Maybe this is the perfect place to get a little writing done.
Barnes and Noble phobia story #375
Okay, I get it. I need to find a new place to write.
Typically, I don't blog about it while I am here, but I want to be sure to not leave out any of the details. So, here I am typing away, working on writing, and a guy sits down with his coffee. So far, fairly normal. But then, instead of sitting correctly in his seat, he sits out, facing all of the people in the center of the cafe. Again, not to weird.
Okay, how about the odd noises that he can't seem to stop making? How about the fact that he is taking his time staring at each one of the people at the tables working or talking. About 20 minutes ago, it was funny. I think I may have even chuckled aloud. And yet, here we are, much later, and it is still going on. Do you think these things would stop happening around me if I posted a little sign at my table that said, "Try not to do anything weird or out of the ordinary. I am a writer and I may be forced to blog about you."
Why am I not leaving you ask? Easy. There is free wi-fi here.
I am thinking about starting another blog and just calling it, "Barnes and Noble: Is it just me?"

Saving money on baby formula
Hey all! It feels like it has been forever since my last post. Believe it or not, one of my resolutions is to get back on here and write.
In the meantime, I just wrote an article about a lawsuit that took place between Mead Johnson (the makers of Enfamil Lipil) and PMB Products, LLC. I thought the findings were pretty interesting. Check it out here:
Save money on baby formula without giving up quality
Also, be sure to print out the coupon for $20 towards your next purchase of store brand formula!

Barnes and Noble Phobia
Okay, so you can look through other posts (I will try to come back later and link them) and see some of the issues I have encountered at Barnes and Noble. I don't want to think it is me. I show up, computer in hand, write like crazy and go home. However, it always seems that "those" people end up seated next to me.
As I am typing, I am sitting across from a couple who insists on talking loudly to each other about a magazine. The guy is reading all of the statistics aloud while the girl lets him know whether or not she thinks it is accurate. I guess it wouldn't be such a big deal if the magazine and the statistics were not about an inappropriate subject.
I am not a prude, however, I like to enjoy a drink and get a little work done. I came here to escape the distractions at home. And so, I walk out of that place and into another. It isn't that I mind the conversation. I think it is more about the volume and the opinions etc.
How do these people find me?
