I work work work in a library. I'm always there. Allll daaaaay loooong. [singing this]

Random things related to my job:

1. After doing an hour of inventory, one of my co-workers informed the rest of us that our best copy of the Kama Sutra is missing!

2. I hate answering the phone.

3. The last half hour of the day always feels like a mental apocalypse. You can tell in our eyes, we are barely keeping it together.

4. I once did the "the library will be closing in fifteen minutes" announcement in a semi-funny accent. It was half accidental. I kind of got in trouble.

5. The basement is floor ZERO.

6. Cool Hand Luke is almost consistently checked-out.

7. Good luck getting the right volume of anything when ordering from other libraries.

8. I have begun spending my fifteen minute breaks playing the grand pianos in the practice rooms of the music building nearby.

9. Once in a while, us office people talk about making a library-themed musical. I think I'm the only one seriously considering the idea.

10. Roughly forty DVD's were stolen last school year. I remember that Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Blazing Saddles were among them. They shall pay for taking Jimmy Stewart, my true love.

11. Strange things occur up on the top floor. Let's just say some very "scientific" things have been spotted occurring among those science books.

12. We carry Rolling Stone magazine.

13. There is nothing more amusing than watching workers clean and/or move the Chihuly piece. It is quite the operation.

14. One of my co-workers hosts concerts in her basement.

15. Why are circulation desks so high?
