the jeep continues to purr like a kitten. well, more like rattle like an old bag of metal bones.

‘brary story:

my coworker answered the phone and it was a lady who wanted to renew her book. the convo went a little something like this:

“this is M., how may i help you?”

“i need to renew my book.”

“okay, what is your name please?”

“name.”

tap tap on key board.

“okay, the computer has two books on your account, is this correct?”

“yes, but i only want to renew the one.”

“…right, um, but both books are due today.”

“i’ve already read the other one.”

“yes, but the books are due today. why don’t i renew both of them?”

“no, i just want the one.”

“but both… okay. the new due date is blah blah blah.”

of course she renewed them both. aren’t patrons funny sometimes?

sometimes at the library i see teachers that i once had from school. what’s funny is when i was a kid, the ones from elementary school seemed SO OLD. and here they are 20 years later and they look exactly the same. weird.
