Working at the Library

Wed May 27, 2009, 6:00 PM
:icontetemeko::iconschedgehogxx::iconpurpletriforce:
We'll stop dancing when you stop watching.

There's a lot more to working at the library than just shelving books and plunging toilets. What you should know is that a library job, while minimum wage and warranting terrible, terrible hours, is a 'stepping stone' job that I'm privileged to have.
lololol yeah right.


The best part of my job would be the kids table.

There is a kids table. On it are five puzzles.

One thing I've learned over my time at the library is that kids find it much more fun to throw the puzzle pieces on the ground or hide them in books than they do actually putting the puzzle together.

So EVERY NIGHT at 8:45, it's my job to scrounge up all the puzzle pieces and put the puzzles together. And EVERY NIGHT I think "I love this damn job."

Except tonight, when 8:45 rolled around and a four year old Filipino girl had not only put together the puzzles, but stacked them up into a neat little stack.

The only good thing about my job, wilted.

Just thought you should know.

I love art trades, by the way.

..HAH. XD

I'm sorry, but all of that is just horribly ironic; thanks for the smile you just gave me (at your own expense)! xD

Every facet, every department of your mind, is to be programmed by you. And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you.

That Filipino girl will grow up to be a librarian. :)

That's really funny and made my day since I've been for couple of days.

Hopefully she won't ever come back to that library.

I'm the kind of girl who laughs about something that happened yesterday... or was that last month?
