erg

Note to self: not having any caffeine after 3PM and drinking 2 glasses of wine = waking up with migraine. ARG.

And I had a little bit of something-or-other in my mouth so I dreamed I was walking through clouds of midges and they kept getting into my mouth. And there was something about my mother in an SUV on the back porch making the house tilt to the side, and BPAL making specialized cereals, and small vicious pink lizards that would attack and eat larger red lizards and then in turn get attacked and killed by wasps. Yeah, I dunno either.

Have to work today from noon til 5. ENTERTAIN ME.

The glamorous life of a librarian...

...today the most important thing I've done is put an "Out of Order" sign on a stall in the women's room and phone the physical plant to put in a work order. It's not an emergency - just a blockage, but nothing overflowing and we've got plenty of other bathrooms in the building - so it can wait until tomorrow unless someone ignores the OUT OF ORDER sign.

However someone came up to one of the IC student workers and reported that *gasp* there was a toilet out of order in the women's room. Gosh, ya think maybe the large OUT OF ORDER sign might clue you in that we know about it already?

(I should probably go double-check and make sure no one's ripped the sign off, or that none of the other toilets has gotten stopped up, actually. ETA: Yup, someone was reporting that the stall with the OUT OF ORDER sign was ... out of order.)

QUESTION

When you are in a bathroom and there's an OUT OF ORDER sign on a stall door and a obviously ... out of order toilet, what do *you* do?

A) Use another stall.

B) Use it anyway and flush, thus causing it to overflow.

Yup, some nimrod did the latter. It's not like we don't have THREE OTHER BATHROOMS if it was that urgent.

Quick book rec...

Period Piece by Gwen Raverat. Raverat was a granddaughter of Charles Darwin, her father was a fellow at Cambridge, and her mother was an irrepressible American. Her book is about growing up in Cambridge at the very end of the 19th century, and it's amazing how many characters the Darwin family produced. :D

I'm about halfway through and enjoying every minute of it. Mom liked it, too - I wasn't intending to let ehr read it until I finished, but when I rodered it from Amazon.com it automatically filled in the last address I'd used, which was when I sent Mom Christmas presents, so she got it first and didn't send it on to me until she'd read it.

Lemming time!
