Lynyrd Skynrd Sang About It

Ooooooohhh oooooohhhh that smell... I'm sitting here in this fancy, schmancy conference and someone in front of me just passed a noxious fume. How rude! I feel like a countery bumpkin gone to town but atleast I have manners.

Yuck! He just did it again. Its probably that nasty tortellini they served at lunch.

Its Gettin' Buggy In Here

Why on earth would anyone want to buy a perfume or cologne that smells like they were embalmed with DEET? I just don't get it. Do they not have any olfactory senses left? Has their sense of smell been corroded from their own scent? P-U!

Lost in the Stacks

Since the library switched to a new ILS I keep finding reference books on the shelves that are not in the system.  I found eight shelves worth of a foreign-language set from 1923 that (guess who) has to catalog?  That's right, me!  How lovely.

Michael Crichton Wants His Dinosaur Back

Have you ever noticed that people that talk with their hands look like T-Rex's.  Short arms gestating in front of their chests instead of out and to the side. Its kind of like jazz hands.  Flipping back-and-forth and back-and-forth.  Are they even aware of what they are doing? Hmmm...

Fire! Fire!

Experienced my first fire drill in the new library. Curious to see what people will grab when they think there is an emergency - lots of coffee mugs and cigarettes.  Not too many ipads, cell phones, coats or purses were seen.  Strange priorities...

Oh Those Chatty Cathies!

I have resorted to wearing headphones and listening to Classic Rock and '80s One Hit Wonders in order to drown out the silly rantings of the Southern Belles that like to hang out and 'chat' during lunch time in the employee lounge. 

Unfortunately, it's proximity to my work station is too close for comfort so I have a choice to make... get a headache from all the inane conversation or jack up the Led Zeppelin to try and drown them out. 

Why do people think that all others are interested in what their kid did in school yesterday and why do they feel the need to share it in ear splitting tones?

Old El Paso Por Favor

Is it just me or is all cafeteria food bland?  I think I personally keep Texas Pete in business.  I have several packets of the stuff squirrelled away in my desk to douse the nastiness in my lunch.
