Saving fish from drowning

I love this quote:

A pious man explained to his followers: “It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. “Don’t be scared.” I tell those fishes. “I am saving you from drowning.” Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes.

I ♥ ...Amazon.com?

So I did end up buying the newly released Harry Potter complete paperback boxed set, but I got it from Amazon.com. The discount was more than my employee discount, and I got free shipping. As much as I enjoy working at a non-profit, I also sometimes love the free market.

I ♥ My Employee Discount

I just saw today that we've FINALLY got paperback boxed sets of Harry Potter! These retail at eighty-something dollars (which is a deal compared to the $200 hardback version!). After my employee discount, the set is going to put me back around $60. I love working at a bookstore :)
