Nap/Staff Meeting

So after sleeping halfway through a boring staff meeting, I have found out that not only is my job doubling but now I have all volunteers. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I REALLY need to stop sleeping through staff meetings. But that's boring! Let's get to the interesting stuff over the last two days I've been away from my most precious blog. In first news, I've been caught! Yes, it's true, if you've happen to have a look at the tab you know by now. R.A. found me out!

So the only way for her not to turn me in and have this blog put on our website, I have put up my new blog for both me and R.A. It seems I've lost my Spook status for now. R.A. has sworn to secrecy, so let's hope no one finds her out. 8|

It was hilarious how it happened because it all began with the mysterious whoopie....

R.A. stricks again!

Rambunctious Assistant is at it again. I tell you this woman is something else!!! Today, I was having to work the front desk because of the wonderful fact that... we have too few workers.

So like every time I'm up there, I find myself making chain link with paper clips or randomly shooting rubber bands at unsuspecting adults (parents included) and thus looking over at the kids with a frown. Anyhoo... today I happened to be playing house of cards with our new library cards, fancy little boogers where you have your picture taken and stuff. Yeah, I don't want to go into the wonderful programming details. When suddenly this patron comes up, a woman around her forties, I believe. She was something else, prada bag, gucci pants, you know the rich ones, and she looked upset. R.A. is always really good at getting angry patrons to shut up better then me, so I let her have the floor.

The rich lady says, "You need to clean your bathroom."

R.A.: "Really? Why's that?"

R.L.: "There are three dead crickets in there!" Rich Lady proceeds to emphasis three with three fingers to R.A.'s face.

Okay, over the last three months we've been having this problem with a whole horde of crickets trying to take over the library, don't ask me way. They just showed up one day and we haven't been able to get rid of them. Go figure. Now right about then I'm thinking, 'Dear Lord, don't let R.A. say something stupid.'

R.A. looks shocked, puts her hand over her chest and exclaims, "Only three!!! Well all be. I'm sorry but there is a strict policy on cleaning the bathrooms. There have to be at least six crickets in order for us to sweep."

R.A. looked so serene and I was desperately trying to keep from laughing my guts out when R.L. says, "Well, I didn't check the other stalls, I'll be right back."

The minute she was out of sight R.A. and I looked at each other and busted out laughing. There is nothing more satisfying then pleasing a patron.

Learn Your Lesson...

So it turns out I've finally learned that you don't mess with a Green Berra. So it turns out today I spent nearly half the morning trying to figure out how to open a bottle of rubbing alcohol with only my thumbs. You're probably wondering why. Well to put it simply Mr. Clean finally got me.

True, true, seems impossible, but yes. This morning I walked the halls of shame and made every assistant librarian and our director snort in laughter. So what happened... well...

Mr. Clean super glued my fingers to my keyboard... yes... it's true.


How did he do it? Put it simply he put the glue on seconds before I got to my desk. When I put my fingers down on the keys, well... they were stuck. So I ended up having to rip the keyboard out of the PC and go to the break room to remove it. Fun times... fun times...

Anyhoo, now all the patrons are asking what happened and embarrassed as I am, I have to explain.

Switcharoo

Long time, hahaha... what can I say the library has been exceptionally busy. (Though I have to admit I've been sleeping through most of it.) With the blessed Summer Reading Program finally over, I no longer had to hide in a closet to get away from the kiddies.

Anyhoo, today has been so hilarious I couldn't help wanting to mention it while I was thinking about it. As you all know Mr. Clean is a stickler for protocol, and I have this wonderful talent of getting him mad. Well to put things simply, I got him really mad today. (I'm childish I know, but you can't be serious all the time.) So today, I had this wonderful idea of peeling the woman's bathroom sign off the bathroom and sticking it on the door to his office. (Surprising he gets an office right?) I put his name plate on the woman's bathroom. (Okay so I got this from AGT but I couldn't help it. The evilness came out when I saw it.)

So what happens halfway through the day. About ten women walk into his office. Of course he has no clue what's going on and directs them to the restroom. By the twelfth time, I think he was getting tired of it. So guess what he does, comes to ask me why it is everyone is coming to his itsy bitsy office. *shrug*

Ten minutes later...

Let's just say I was cutting up in the attic to keep away from the red headed Mr. Clean. So for the rest of the day it was hide-and-go-seek with the library assistant. Ain't life grand!!!
