rambling wasp

Oh the joys of finishing up a test and then having to wait around because the professor wants to have an audience so he can hear himself talk. Fucker. Anyway. I think I did well on the test. Better than I had expected...or better than I hoped? I don't know, Scully, you tell me. I am in the computer lab and I am the only one typing so I am making quite the racket, but it also makes me look productive. Haha. Like I am getting anything done. You know what's really cool about this though? One seat down from me is the guy who replaced me here. HAHAHAHAHAHA. He doesn't know who I am, but I know who he is...sorta. I just know that he is in the same suck ass position I was in last year this time.
Oh, Shan, if you read this, I meant to tell you like a week ago, but Big D (I think you know who I am talking about) was at my library about a week or so ago and she got a library card. There is a little back story to the second part of that story. The library has a side door, much like LB does, but someone complained that it was "ugly" because the door was hidden behind a tree, which we liked b/c it was our secret escape hatch, so the city sent over some inmates and the PC garden club came over after the inmates had cleared the brush and planted a garden. Well, for some reason after Big D got her library card she was compelled to dig in the dirt with one other old lady and a couple of inmates. She was sweeping the sidewalk and digging holes like it was her job. Just thought you might be slightly interested. if not, then just disregard the above story. The only reason why I am telling you is that my coworkers were perplexed as to her behavior. I was not surprised at all.
I like coming to the lab now. I think it is because I know I can leave whenever I want to. I liked working in here when I did. I went out for cigarette breaks whenever, I went across the lawn and hung out with Mark, the line cook at the cafe, no one really needed help in here, I was just there to monitor and fill the printer with paper. And on Tues. and Thurs. there are hardly any classes at this campus, they are in JC or Keesler.
I was damn busy at work today. There were tons of kids needing help getting books for reports and stuff. There was a rush in the last hour we were open, which hasn't happened like that since I have been closing. I mean a few people come in from 5-6, but never that many. I would say in that hour there was a good 15-20 people who actually needed assistance and it was just me and Sally. It sucked. I was getting this book, telling this kid to get off the computer, answering this phone, looking that book up for a solid hour. We had to chase the last couple of stragglers out. Sally isn't all about staying after we close. She will flick the lights on and off and stuff. It is great. This 70+ old woman telling you to get the hell out of her library she wants to go home. Hahaha. Well, I better get back. Later....
