April might kill me too. Of course, after the 20th, everything will be done and I will be golden, but until then, BLEGH.
I do that with store receipts. It's the hardest to decide which book gets the receipt if I buy multiple ones; generally, if I buy a fiction and, say, a Bonaparte book, it's the Bonaparte book. With just multiple fiction books, I just pick one at random and stick it in there.
I have a semi-corner office (tucked away inside a labyrinth of hallways), although it's unfortunately right next to the reading room. I always hear somebody in the reading room talking to someone else, and I'm like, oh, okay! I'm going to talk to ____. I spend a lot less time in my office after last month's debacle, though.
See, the 20th is just one day out of everything else I've got going on this month. And then, seriously, May and June will finish me off if April doesn't.
I usually put the receipt in the book I like the most (or think I'll like the most) when I have to choose. Yay for arbitrariness?
My mom uses anything she has at hand and leaves it in the book for the next person to stumble across
I LOVE that, and I do it now whenever I'm sending out a swapped book or anything like that, just put something random in there. I got a book awhile back from cofax that had a Bay Area bus pass in it, and I was just kind of delighted... it's a little slice of something from another part of the world. I like it. :)

Yes! Isn't it awesome? I should take it up myself if/whenever I do book swaps. :-D (Usually I just send people random-assed postcards. I could combine them!)
I do that, too, but I especially like to do it with postcards that are from someplace. It's a great way to get rid of the Montana postcards that I won't ever send from Montana. :D
I sent a friend of mine one of a woman on the Kansas prairie using buffalo chips. Because Kansas history is JUST THAT AWESOME that it needs buffalo chips on its postcards. Actually, I bet you could find something similar from Montana.
One of my co-workers is sort of halfway there...he tilts backwards very steeply, but he doesn't do any sort of strange foot wriggles. (NO, I will not mention it to him. :p)
Barney Miller was pretty wonderful. My mom's accumulating the DVD sets.

Also, ah, Barney Miller. I adored that show.
I am currently using my ticket from the MFA for the ancient Assyria exhibit as a bookmark.
