I am often jealous of those with an office full of colleagues. You have people you can discuss problems with, share advice, and just generally chat about... stuff. I'm lazy, and when I'm not busy I can slip into a near-catatonic state. So if you see me slumped over the counter, come in and say hello.
Edinburgh's famous fossil shop has had fossils for sale from all around the world for over twenty years. This blog is about fossils, minerals and general geology, but also about life in a small shop.

Solitary confinement
This is a small business. There's me and one other staff member who does Saturdays and fills in when required. Currently that's Riley. there aren't many times of the year when having two people in the shop would be useful, and that's handy in keeping running costs to a minimum. However - there are days when it's very, very quiet. No customers, paperwork finished, no postal orders to wrap. On those days the view from the counter can seem a little too familiar and the chair a little too uncomfortable.

I definitely miss seeing you and Riley. I would fly back in a heart beat to keep you guys company in the shop. I often dream about Edinburgh and I hope to have the opportunity to visit again someday. Thank you for everything. You have a wonderful shop!
