Oh Monday, you rascal.

Today a lady came up to the circ desk to check out her book. She reached into the The Vault* and pulled out her library card.
I wanted to melt into the carpet and not have to deal with her. But I am an adult so I gritted my teeth, made the transaction, and did not scold her for being a disgusting trash-goblin of a person. I’m preeeeeetty sure my civil rights were violated somehow. I keep telling myself that God loves her just as much as He loves me.
Lord, please help that lady get some pockets. Amen.
*The Vault is when a lady trash-goblin uses her bra to hold her goods (other than boobs) so she doesn’t have to bring in her purse. And lookit, I don’t mind if you stash yo’ shit there, but I DO mind if you’re gonna do a transaction of some kind. Don’t whip that shit out in front of me. I don’t need a show. What I need is for you to hold up YOUR END OF THE SOCIAL CONTRACT.

Oh. My. Lands. I would pay $.38 to be there when some lady trash-goblin reaches into The Vault for her library card & hands it to you. It would take every ounce of my everything not to guffaw. I’d probably end up with tears rolling down my cheeks from the effort. At which point sweet lady trash-goblin would reach back into The Vault for a tissue to offer me. At which point I would end up rolling on the floor. Just another day in paradise!
at least it wasnt a hot,sweaty day. that would be a violation.
Today as we passed the library, J commented that “at Aunt Jaimie’s livary, there are angels.” I’m guessing he’s not talking about this lady!
Ha! Not her by a long shot. The parks dept. put up some wooden angels outside the ‘brary for Christmas decorations.
