the computers at work are wonky and have been for two weeks. this means that once or twice a day we have to shut everything down and check out stuff by hand. the patrons have been pretty cool about it although they all say the same thing, “computers not working? you have to write everything down, eh? like the Dark Ages!” ha, yes. only we’d all be burned as witches. anyway, the worst part is that we can’t look up any books because our card catalogue is on the computer, right? i hate not being able to tell someone if we do/don’t have the book they’re looking for. it’s bush league. if they’re looking for books on a certain subject we can point them in the right direction, it’s just the specific titles that we can’t be sure of. cos maybe we have that book and it’s checked out, or maybe we don’t have the book at all.

it just a wee bit frustrating is all. working in a library and not able to actually answer a question. unless of course you need your Roman numerals one through ten, i can do those.
