Okay, does having a full moon on a Monday, make the crazies extra crazy? Or does it just make them come to the library ( Read more... )

Oh Sundays. Worst days of work. Thank goodness, it's only once a month ( Read more... )

Wednesday was the worst day I ever had at work. The general business I didn't mind, nor did I mind helping an old guy with one of them new-fangled photocopiers, or fixin' a paper jam in one of the microfilm machines.

But then you remember that you don't have class, but you have to be at work instead. And you can't just miss that w/o explanation, and you're screwing yourself out of a day's pay, not just ( Read more... )

I refuse to leave this air-conditioned building. If I had it my way I would not put one foot outside until it's 5pm where I can then quickly jump into an air-condition vehicled ( Read more... )
