I am still alive!
For a given value of living.
Let me explain my past week to you:
Mini Pages: We can't work! We have, like, graduation and prom and stuff this week!
Supervisor: Well, any time you can come in would be greatly appreciated.
Clerk and I are the only tennaged workers the entire week, which leads to:
Librarian #1: These are the wrong shelves.
Workers: Get out of the way, we've got to put up the tree.
Librarian #1: These books are filed wrong!
Workers: Move away from the cherry picker!
Director: You've got to do this, this, and this in this way.
Librarians: ...that doesn't even make sense.
Director: Well do it! Have I mentioned that I'm going slowly insane this week?
Librarians: Yes, we had noticed.
Supervisor: We need the racks for the talking books!
Janitors: *are too busy to deal with the racks*
Workers: We are welding and getting sparks everywhere!
Me: *eats tic tacs*
Librarian #2: Help me set up the program room.
Librarian #2: Okay, we can't do anything in the program room because the shelves aren't up. Let's shift boxes around for the next hour!
Workers: Welding is FUN!
Me: *eats tic tacs*
Director: Change this and this and this!
Librarians: That doesn't even make sense!
Director: INSANITY!
Supervisor: We need the racks for the talking book!
Janitors: *are too busy to deal with the racks*
Librarian #1: We need to switch out the shelving for the DVDs and fiction books!
Supervisor: OMG HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUT SHELVING IN YA!
Librarian #1: Let's put the craft stuff away!
Librarian #2: So many cabinets and drawers! Everything fits!
Librarian #1: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Librarian #2: Why are the random razor blades everywhere?
Clerk: ... assisted suicide?
Me: o_O
Supervisor: We need the racks for- you know what, why don't you put them up? Only problem is that we apparently don't have enough.
Clerk: So how are we doing this?
Supervisor: *gibberish directions*
Clerk:
Then we had opening day and got completely mobbed. Also, general agreement seems to be that we need to burn the sofa in the staffroom in some sort of arcane ritual.
Meanwhile, I took to watching Man from UNCLE episodes during lunchbreak because I'm awesome like that. I've also decided to amuse myself by giving each of the episodes titles. It's not that hard, because they're freaking ridiculous.
I do wonder why 60s TV, for all it's sophistication and forward thinking, failed so hard with sexism. I mean, there were women writers, and yet every other episode someone will say something that makes my eye twitch.
Epsidoes I have watched:
We Mock Your Heteronormativity. Hard.
The One with the Fanfiction Writer
Let's Steal the Pants From the Secret Police (While Illya Glowers Protectively from the Background)
The One with the S&M Couple
The One Where Backup Got Stuck in Traffic on the LIE
WHY IS HITLER A ZOMBIE IN THIS ONE?!?! (While Illya Glowers Jealously in the Background)
Partner!Torture
This Episode Has A Really Good Plot!
Guess Who Stole The Ring From the Help! Movie?
Don't Cry For Me, Querido!
Nonverbal Communication FTW!
The One Where Marriage and Partnership are Compared (Partnership Seems to Win)
The One Where Illya Is Drugged Out of His Mind, Napoleon is Angry, and They Hold Hands
Also, my sister's new response to being told that she's to young to watch something is to say "So what? I've already seen sex."
