toranseisstrong replied to your post: Dude, “But I haven’t saved anything!” is not a reason for me to give you more time on the library computer.

“But I haven’t saved” is the biggest excuse always given. It’s like the grown-up, library equivalent of “the dog ate my homework.”

Totally. To them I say: You knew how much time you had on the computer. You even had a timer counting down on the screen right in front of your nose. And yet somehow your not saving your work is a last-minute emergency? I THINK NOT.

that was me. the library is open today??

Thanks! I probably needed a good beating. And we’re only open a half day, and we’re closed on Monday.

toranseisstrong replied to your post: Wait

No one should be at the library on Christmas eve.

The only patrons that are currently here seem to be those with no other place to go, so I don’t mind it that much.

Aren’t patrons the best? We once had a drunk person to take a bath in the sink. Thankfully I wasn’t working that day because I’m not sure I want to know how exactly he was accomplishing that…

Our patrons give themselves sponge baths in the sinks. We tell them to knock it off if we catch them, but since we don’t really use the public restrooms that much I’m sure it goes on a lot more than we’re aware of. That and… other things.

Come to my library, I’ll bring you cookies.

Mmmm. Cookies.

We can order patron requested books. Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter were at the top of the patron requested. I’m pretty sure that says something terrible about the state of our city.

Our patrons start submitting request for Tea Party books the instant they’re announced. Bleh, I say. BLEH.

I am seriously impressed with your coworker’s ability to find polite and positive things to say when confronted with idiocy.

Yeah, it’s something I still need to learn. :P

:O Get out of my library. Those things are delicious. Except for brussels sprouts. I’ll concede on that.
