Jumanji & @ the Library

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:47:47 -0800

From the page: "I was calling reserves today and got a guy on the horn who is either a worker at a zoo or is playing Jumanji as there were all kinds of tropical bird noises and ape noises coming from the background as I was telling the guy that his book arrived. I almost commented on it but with the way my week has been going I thought it best to quit while I was ahead."

Welcome To November & @ the Library

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:44:59 -0800

From the page: "A 20 something woman said 'fuck you' to me today from across the Library. She was upset about the wait time for our Internet computers and when a PC unexpectedly opened in the Childrens' Department she stopped and gave me her idea of a going away present on her way to the open PC."

The Sad State Of Our Educational System & @ the Library

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:43:00 -0700

From the page: "Our Intern thinks that this woman is just flat-out insane and isn't a teacher at all and just applies to every college from Hawaii to Haiti. This would probably be the best case scenario as it would keep her away from teaching anything. Sadly, I fear that she and Goliath just represents a growing trend that underscored the sad state of our educational system."

Donation & @ the Library

From the page: "Today we found this among many mildewey books that were donated to the Library:" [pic]

I Went To Grad School For This... & @ the Library

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:57:32 -0700

From the page: "Today was going along at a really mellow pace, and then all hell broke loose around 12:30. At the same time I'm helping an Irregular print out instructions on how to beat a drug test, his computer decides it will no longer connect to the network printer. "

Men's Magazines, Libraries, & Literacy & @ the Library

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:33:11 -0700

From the page: "while Maxim might be good for a quick laugh and some banal eye candy for the likes of Beavis and Butthead, Esquire is infinitely more engaging and the depths of the stories and clever way they weave women, fiction, and tips on how to be a better man would best be appreciated by the likes of Don Draper (from Mad Men for those of you who aren't hip), although I dare say that the witless Maxim readers among us are the ones who need Esquire most."

Ode To Civility & @ the Library

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:59:47 -0700

From the page: "Whatever happened to decorum, manners, respect, and common decency? Seriously, has everyone lost their fucking minds? What is the matter with society today? At every level people have completely turned into rude, disrespectful, and selfish douchebags. This behavior is unacceptable for children let alone those who are supposed to be examples for the rest of society, these people are leaders in politics, athletics, and the arts. If these are the 'best' people we have then we are in bigger trouble than ever I imagined."

Yukon Cornelius, 2-XL, and Special Ed & Sanity. & @ the Library

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:18:42 -0700

From the page: "I really am Woeful. In fact, I'm really at the end of my rope. I'm getting burnt out very quickly as we are down a key person @ the Library. This is compounded by the fact the Summer is our busiest time of the year and this Summer has been exceptionally busy, especially the last two weeks."

Gandalf, Batman, the Sneezer & a Seven Martini Lunch & @ the Library

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:10:51 -0700

From the page: "Later in the afternoon, I was calling holds and reached an answering machine that had the following message: 'Hello, you have reached the Batcave. This is Batman but I am unable to take your call right now as I am in the Batmobile with Robin chasing The Joker. When we return to the Batcave I will return your call.' Hahahaaaaa!!"

Universal Healthcare & @ the Library

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:41:39 -0700

From the page: "I really didn't think I would have to write a post about the importance of healthcare reform yet here I am. Nearly a year ago I voted for Obama because the McPain alternative was totally unacceptable to me and I wasn't about to let that happen. The primary reason that Obama secured my vote over Clinton was his healthcare plan. Now, because of wildly hyperbolic Republican lies, and private healthcare funded theatrics at town hall meetings across the Country here I sit typing away with the hope of persuading people who know the difference between crazy talk and actual factual data."
