A patron who's sadly becoming a regular came in today. I was tempted to nickname him "The Smiler," but that only made me want to read Transmetropolitan again. And to be honest, he wasn't as disturbing or messed up as The Smiler was ( Read more... )

So, I know there are a lot of geeks on my flist. Maybe someone can help me out. I remember watching some sci-fi show or movie awhile ago. People were in fighters in space and the baddies were coming. Right before they got in a fight, they recited the Ave Maria.

Does that ring any bells? I can't remember and it's driving me crazy.

Burger King's the King has spawned. It's almost as disturbing as that Mentos spit-drinking commercial that makes me gag just writing about it. I think Satan's in charge of their marketing department.

It's officially the twenty-ninth of February. I feel like I should be breaking out booze or something. I need something big to happen today. That way, the anniversary will be on the Leap Year (is it even necessary to capitalize that?).

J in Reference wants to start training me as soon as the director okays it and I hope he does. Anyway, working in Local History is pretty easy. S has me ( Read more... )

My brother lost his job today because he wasn't working fast enough and for goofing off. Way to go, kid. He didn't really have to do anything to get the job (yay nepotism) and he goes off and screws that up ( Read more... )

Second, when did I ever show interest in working for the FBI? Come to think of it, working for the FBI is on my list of chosen professions, right above teaching and right below ( Read more... )

I had a dentist appointment today, which is never fun. Today, no cavities, but one of my fillings is breaking. I have to go in next week to have that fixed. The surprising part is that while I was getting my teeth scraped, Santa Claus showed up. I'm serial! This man showed up dressed as Santa and handing out candy and no one knew who he was ( Read more... )

Bah, Ferris, bah! I'm supposed to do some sort of loan exit counseling, but every time I try to access the page, I see "Server Application Error" in very large, very bold lettering. I have to complete this by the 18th, so if this is still a problem tomorrow, looks like I have to call the school Monday. Bother! I just want to be done with Ferris ( Read more... )
