evila_elfDon't you just hate it when there is an old lady nearby who just stands there and frowns like she is mad at the world? *shiver* There was one at work today...her daughter and I guess granddaughter were in looking at books. I gave her a wide space as I was walking past...except for the time when he hovered in front of the door. I mumbled an 'excuse me' as I got close. Lady: *glare, then stepped to the side*
So busy at work these past few days! People everywhere. Despite all that, I haven't been asked as many questions as I normally am. It is annoying to hear the patrons whisper about needing help and wanting to go down stairs to as the question. Makes me wonder if I am invisible *le sigh*
I also dislike parents who let their kids leave stuff all over the floor. Had to kick several books from my path as I carried a heavy box past. I think I kicked them a little too hard to the side of the room, but the lady did appologize.
Tuesday, someone donated 4 huge boxes of books! Most were fantasy and general fiction. I loaded them up into plastic courier boxes so I could lift them and had to make 7 trips upstairs, then another when someone else donated another box's worth. Took me an hour to sort them in the for-sale-room, and a half an hour before that to get them into the boxes because my boss was making sure I put them in the right boxes. and I started 15 minutes early. Out of all those books, I only bought 4--2 bucks worth. I might have bought more if I wasn't so sick of looking at them. Normally I look over the backs--but it would have taken too long to do that with a couple hundred books!
Today, some guy came in and bought 20 bucks worth of the fantasy books! (40 books total)
Didn't get much sleep yesterday. I went to bed at 4:30 because I wasn't paying attention to the time. When it gets that late, I tend to move really slow and stare off into space a lot :-/ I was woken up at 8 by the dog gagging. Turns out that she was trying to eat out of the litterbox! -.- I yelled and threw a pillow at her. Shoulda gotten out of bed and kicked her ass, then shut her out of my room, but I didn't want to get up. I don't remember falling back asleep, but I must of, because I had a v. interesting dream:
It was an OC dream :D
I remember hearing reviews of the newest House being the slashiest, etc. Well, turns out that this OC episode (in my dream) was supposed to be the slashiest ever. Details don't make sense, but there was water and waves (I blame Michelle for some of that) and slashing and laughing with Seth/Ryan. I was so happy because Ryan had such a huge smile on his face! I think there was also some hugging and invasion of personal space.
Another small dream that wasn't too interesting....just some of me driving around downtown and it was deserted except for this creepy guy. I think that was due to the fact that I was scoping out the theater parking last night.
An extra hour of sleep would have been good, but I don't think I would mind being woken up early if I can go back to sleep and have some nice dreams :D Seems like the only ones I can remember happen when I wake and fall back asleep..the second dream happened when Mom woke me up and told me to get out of bed, but I fell back asleep. Scared the crap out of me when she came back into my room yelling at me "Why haven't you gotten out of bed yet???"
What else to tell, what else to tell...
For the first time since House took the latest 2 weeks off, it seems like the newest episode is just around the corner!!
I'm growing out my fingernails and not chewing them off. I need to pick up some fingernail polish. Been ages since I have wanted to paint my nails. I am thinking bright red...any other ideas? (anything but pink!!)
Was talking with Lew at work and he was saying how the power went out a few weeks ago at around 11 in the morning just as he was plugging in his coffee pot for his first cup of coffee for the day. He put on his robe and padded next door in his slippers to the little diner to bum a cup of coffee because theirs would still be warm. he is so hilarious!! He said his robe was all ratty and his slippers are almost 20 years old. The diner people were so amused that they refused to let him pay for it
Lew, to paint a picture: grey hair, tall and fairly slim. 50/60-ish years old. Wears an old jean jacket that he has been meaning to replace for several years now--He always hangs it on a hook over the door, when he is working. He is a subsitute, so I don't see him too often. Met him when I started doing Sundays and he has been filling in a lot at my library because Trish hurt her back. He takes whatever hours he can get. Seems like the type who never has enough money, though he is enjoying himself lately--quite a few people are sick and he was able to rack in 40 hours in 2 weeks subbing for people! He does book reviews for the Olympian newspaper and on Sundays he nabs the paper from me before I can pull the ads from it. He doesn't get paid for them, but almost always has a review published.
Okay, enough rambling...blame the person who said I don't talk enough about real life here :P
