    My local shop is right beneath my place of employment. So, I've popped in for a few minutes during slow afternoons on several occasions. If I see something, I have it put on hold. And I always look both ways before entering.

    I'm a courier so i'm on the road a lot.
    On the quiet days, or on the odd busy day, i take a little
    detour to the closest record shops ,thrifts etc.

    Word

    The local record spot and a goodwill are basically a block away. Quick lunch, then go digging.

    And some people take smoke breaks, I might take 5 minutes to pick up some wax.

    I own a shop so I only have to go a few feet. Bit dangerous though.
    I also have two storage units, one of which is about two blocks from my store, so when things are really slow I'll pop over there and go digging. When I moved in 2000 I put about a third of my personal collection in there so its fun rediscovering records I'd forgotten about. Also dangerous.

    I am lucky, my boss gets a kick out of my digging, so if there is a tip on some records, I just tell him I have to 'run to the post office, *wink wink*

    And I keep several shops on my lunch routine. Keeps me walking regularly.

    No spots within coowee of my new work, but where I was before I woulod always be driving around going to meetings, and almost every town there's a meeting in has an op shop.

    Last last year I stopped by a newly opened op shop after a poster run and spent an hour going through records with the help of a young perosn who is also a musician - I bought a few Quincy Jones LPs and game them to him.

    When I first got out of college in the early 90s. I got a job working as vocational trainer at a mental health clinic. Most of my trainees could only put in a four hour day due to poor physical health, other counseling demands and whatnot. So I spent most of afternoons doing paperwork and sitting in on staff meetings. I figured out pretty quickly that staff meetings weren't much more then group therapy sessions, so I started skipping out to do "estimates" more and more frequently. I became a regular at Dan Berkman's spending long afternoons getting schooled on soul/funk/jazz. Over the course of 4 years I got a helluva collection while on the clock. Now I work for myself so I dig whenever I feel like it.
