It's official # jerk in the library

[verte76]

So I got to work today and there were two freaking cop cars in the front. A notorious jerk was back; he harrassed us last week because the printer was screwed up. He'd been involved in a serious altercation with another patron today, harrassed two workers, and the cops busted him. I clutched my rosary while the head librarian went out with the fr and the cops.
I'm a bit dizzy.

metal detectors

I sometimes feel like I need pepper spray to ward off the crazies when I go to the library.

 

[Aralitia]

There are no crazies at the libraries I go to.

Are they hiring???

 

[Aralitia]

Are they hiring???

Perhaps.

I want to work in the music library

 

[verte76]

I am going to start a "Save the librarians" web site.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Do you have a "Book Police"?

Remember the Seinfeld episodes about "Bookman"? He wanted Jerry to return his copy of "Tropic of Cancer"..

In OC, there is no bookman but they sure hound the hell out of you by telephone recording until its returned....

"Hello, this is a courtesy call for (state your name) to return the book he/she checked out on (date)..."

I wish I could be a librarian.

Actually it's illegal for patrons to look at Internet porn in the library. But that's not the easiest law in the world to enforce, not even with cops in the library.

 

[nbcrusader]

You wanna get free internet porn (with administrator privileges)?

Actually I want a branch of the Interplanetary UFO Library Defense Force to build a UFO landing pad in our parking lot to stop the attacks.

 

[nbcrusader]

What planet are librarians from?

 

[verte76]

We're from Planet Earth. For security reasons we're not allowed to disclose the Planetary origins of the UFO's involved. I started a site about the thing here.

[nbcrusader]

security reasons, eh? Is this some Patriot Act thing?

No. The rumors from, uh, Saturn aren't true, but we *are* getting our UFO's *funded* by Jupiter.

Wow, we make jokes about Librarians at my work. (sorry). We have about 5 or 6 libraries on campus and we are guaranteed to get a phone call from at least one library a week with a really stupid safety question. Cant given examples unfortunately do to confidentiality reasons but really anal/obsessive compulsive type questions. It even got to the point of when we did our Myer Briggs test the facilitator gave us the handout for the Librarian personality type in an effort for us to understand them better. (sorry, Im sure you two are lovely people)

 

[verte76]

Oh, no, we have bad reps in the neighborhood. Damn. Must be those Saturnian rumor-mongerers again.
