yesterday was really irritating, but i’m not going to go into all of it. i will, however, note that there is a reason i went into academic librarianship rather than public. and part of that reason is some of the patrons we had yesterday. one of them came into the library, soaking wet, no shirt, no shoes. (thankfully, it was a guy.) and then there was this couple hanging out across from the desk. she was wearing men’s underwear shorts (not boxers, but the tightie-whities that extend half-way down the leg) and a tiny t-shirt that did absolutely nothing to hide her massive beer gut. and her boyfriend – who appeared not to have bathed in weeks – was wearing jeans with the pockets torn out of the back. back in the day before i got so frickin’ huge, i used to borrow sohei’s underwear when i ran out, but i sure as hell wouldn’t go out in it without pants on. (this was when we couldn’t afford to do laundry regularly and i didn’t have a bathtub to wash stuff in yet. at least it was clean.)

anyway, we got rock band 2 yesterday. it’s fun. i agreed to write a short article on it for the library newsletter. which i guess i should actually do, because he wanted it before mid-week. arg.
