Cycho Librarian

This really only makes sense if you've read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. If you haven't yet, drop everything you're doing, head straight to your local library, check out The Golden Compass , The Subtle Knife , and The Amber Spyglass , take three days off work and read them. I'm not kidding. No, really. Go. Right now. For those of you who have read it, there is a movie coming out in December in case you haven't heard. I have strong hopes for the movie. Thus far it looks like they're doing it right. However, as part of the website you get to meet your Daemon. But friends can weigh in on whether or not you've got the right one. So those of you who know me, follow the link below and weigh in: is this really my Daemon?

I don't think I'm old. I really don't. I'm only 33 for crissake. So why am I starting to sound like an old fuddy-duddy about clothing trends?

An unfortunate side-effect of wearing jeans this small is that it's essentially impossible to get the waistband over your ass. So these fashionistos solve the problem by hitching their underwear up to the appropriate level so that basically you see them in their underwear. Of course, since the pants are too small and are belted, when ...

Our manager asked a woman who was screaming at someone on her cell phone to please keep it down or take the call in the lobby. The woman decided that instead of doing this relatively simple thing, she would instead berate and threaten our manager resulting in her eviction from the library for 6 months. When she received her eviction notice in the mail, she proceeded to call our location at least 6 times in the space of 30 minutes continuing her threats and abusive language. She then went to another library where upon learning that yes, she was evicted from all libraries, she told every person she could find that she had been kicked out for talking on a cell phone, managing to make it out of the parking lot before the police arrived. She then called the Main library at least 15 times that afternoon continuing the same rant. She is now evicted for a year. I spent 15 minutes on the phone with a woman who thou...
