To the guy with the persistent, nasty nasty phlegmy cough: I know it's not your fault. Evidently you are sick and can't help it. But must you come in, day after day, and peruse the books in my section for hours on end? Your cough started out merely annoying. But now, seriously? It is so absolutely disgusting that listening to it is making me sick. You are sick. Please go home now.

Had this little gem last night:
Guy: Can you help me find a book?
Me: Sure; what are you looking for?
Guy: Um... Er... Um... Uh... Well... Er... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Me: Waiting expectantly.
Guy: I'm sorry. I can't remember. Something by a Tom... W?
Me: I'm afraid I'll need a little more than that. Can you tell me anything else about the book?
Guy: No it's no use. I'm too drunk. Sorry.
Me: OK
Guy: You've got some good-looking girls around here. The guys must be crazy.
This is where I decided I had someplace else to be. Especially as he didn't appear to be even looking at anyone. I have no idea.

In happy news, I busted out the sandals and toe ring for the first time this season yesterday. Yay! I even painted my toenails the night before that. I love wearing sandals, because it means I don't have to wear socks, and well, it's just a little thing that most people don't likely even notice, but my tiny little sparkly toe ring just makes me feel very summery and sexy, and that makes me happy. So yay!

customers, weather, chapters, work
