Welp, I opened the building 25 minutes ago, there's a slow stream of folks working but not needing help. Just your ordinary Sunday afternoon. Oh, and The Neediest Student On The Planet has parked herself at the computer closest to the refdesk. Good times.

Wow. Just had the most calm, coherent, logical-sounding paranoid rant that I have ever heard from a patron about how the military and the government are harassing him via text messages, agents posing as homeless people, and through thinly-veiled threats in headlines in local papers. I told him that his idea for a class action lawsuit through the ACLU was a great angle to pursue.

I want to know how a library is ever warm enough to be "too hot" for a heavy sweater. Mine never seems to be....

Mine tends to go back and forth Abigail. At the beginning of the week, we could store large slabs of meat frozen, but by the end of the week, we could host a luau complete with bathing suits and hulu dancers.

I think with the opening and closing of the front doors we are cooling down. Contemplating move to warmer sweater. #imgettingpaidforthis

Steve, I think we've had that guy (paranoid rants), except for our guy writes his rants on the little 2x3 sheets of paper we keep at the ref desk, and leaves them on the same desk in the same corner of the library. We haven't seen him lately, so maybe he's made his way to Colorado.

He just came back to suggest that we take the money we spend on newspapers--which are simply propaganda--and spend it on the computer network instead.

'cos everybody knows no propaganda comes through computer networks ;)

He just stopped by on his way out to thank me for helping him decide to take legal action so he can "slap down the punks and the nanotechnologists and the lawyers who try to take advantage of people." Glad I could help.

Well, not personally. But I have visited the zoo exhibit where they raise them many times. Depending on which batch those were from, I could have seen those very ones!

....and now I'm trying to convince myself NOT to go to Kansas to play in a Nero event with Jim Butcher. (http://www.jim-butcher.com/gamewit...) I think it's time for bed before I do something rash.
- Jenica
you totally should go! I'd be there if it didn't cost money to play the game...and if I knew what the heck the game was.
