Tales from the library

Sep 15, 2005 09:11

I haven't updated much lately, so I've collected a bunch of crazy people stories from the library. This lab has a very different feel from the UGA library lab. For one thing, the majority of my patrons are senior citizens. And there are a couple of different skills required. Maybe I can add bouncer to my resume. At UGA, you needed a student id ( Read more... )

Hee, working with the elderly in the library sounds a little like working with some of the non-traditional students in Aderhold. At least with your clientele, you don't get the added horror of "Oh my God, these people will one day be responsible for the molding of young minds." :)

If that guy brings in his suits, you should make up a series of conditions ("Tsk, tsk, you've untworlted both the Hasherman's seams on this one!"), then tell him that repairs would be at least a thousand dollars apiece, not counting materials. Be sure to videotape his reaction if you do.

Well, I'd like to think that I'm really a funny writer, but I have a feeling the wine played a role. :-) Is this Karen or Mary? I have a hard time picturing Greg reading through my journal.

You know I am spent when I can't even spell "several" correctly! Of course, it was due to the alcohol consumption. ;) Gee...I’m a crappy role model. By the way, loved your link concerning fresh & creative ideas for the crocheting enthusiast in your life. LMAO

It's a good thing you only forwarded that email to Greg and Mary. I completely forgot about the stuff I've linked lately. This could destroy my reputation at the library. Although I am totally stealing the idea for the kleenex cozy and making one for Joelle for Christmas. That's one project I won't be able to work on in the lab. :-)
