3. Don't I wish ...
but no cute customers here. I don't work in a public library, we only have classic authors and reference books about them and their time. Therefor the "high" customer count :rofl:

7. LOL!
We think the same thing if there is more than one person in line at the reference desk at the same time!


(although seeing 2 students do actual research at the same time would also be quite the shock...:rofl)

8. You'd better get some coffee
so you can keep up with them! :rofl:

:hi: Here for a few minutes ... trying to get the energy to clean. x( Meanwhile, Sophie's marking me up ... rubbing, getting her mouth on my arms, even loving my computer. I'm officially hers now. :P And my white top is complete with black Sophie fur on it. :shrug:

13. You know I don't drink coffee

I had the energy the last couple of nights to clean up a bit :wow: Something's wrong. And ain't Sophie a great excuse not to clean? I mean how can you deny her some loving?

35. He's WORKING!
And, I have to say, I'm amazed at how disciplined he is. He only comes out to get a snack or use the bathroom. He even eats his lunch at his desk most days! His bosses should like that ... 'cause I KNOW he socializes when he's in the office! :D

You're funny, :rofl:

9. I saw two people getting some action when I worked in the library...
Edited on Fri Jul-28-06 08:34 AM by Fox Mulder
they were in the poetry room, really going at it.

I didn't do anything, though. I just walked away and left them alone.

25. They were gone for the night.
This was at about 11:30 at night when I caught the people "enjoying each others company". It was just me and another student working at the time.

26. The job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers.
I like to treat it as a cross between Clerks and Office Space, sort of.

31. There are a lot of jobs like that
it would be great ... if it weren't for the customers :rofl:

To tell the truth most of my customers are really nice. It is a reference library and the customers who come are few and I know most of them.
