I work part time in a comic store; Well, it used to be a comic store way back when, but it had to evolve with the times, however now the store carries games, toys, music, imported animation on disc, and books and comics, so I savor to call it a One Stop Nerd Shop.
- In any event, it still operates mostly savor a comic book shop, and that’s why I savor working there.
I get to hang out with fellow nerds while in my shift, and get a discount on everything I buy… One of the most important things about working here is the control device for the climate control system! Before I worked in this locale I was regularly curious as to why they kept the control device turned down so low all the time, and now I know; Cold temps and low humidity levels are optimum for aged comics and other kinds of collectables, so the AC runs so much for their benefits, not that of the buyers. If anything, the HVAC method is utilized to make people more uncomfortable, which makes sense when you think about it. When the buyers are made too cold by the AC, they do not sweat or project extra moisture into the air, nor do they hang around any longer than needed. If it is nice and comfortable then more people will hang out and study comics, but the chilly AC will keep that from happening. Of course, now that I work here I need to wear a heavy jacket to work every day to offset the cold cold air conditioner, but at least I get to study comics all day.
