altivo: The Clydesdale Librarian (Default)

Wednesday AND the first day back at work after a long weekend. Ugh.

Interesting things, more or less: The golden chalice is still here but no one remembered to put it out in the display case so it spent the whole day locked up. No one asked where it was either, so the novelty has worn off and it should go home to Wisconsin I think. More promising bits of information about the potential split in the library system. The key library that we need on our side is indeed on our side, or at least the director and staff are. They still need board approval though. Word has been passed to the system HQ that we are seriously considering dropping out. Supposedly the big pointy haired boss responded that he "Just couldn't understand why anyone would do that," which fits and in fact explains exactly why we would do it. He's been about as aware, understanding, and awake as a two ton boulder. Oh, and my Wednesday night work colleague of the past 4+ years has changed her schedule and will no longer be working with me. For the forseeable future the library director is taking her place, which might not sound good, but actually it is fine with me.

Put up a 2001 calendar at work (Mark Barrett's Horse calendar) since the one I wanted is back ordered from Amazon and may never show up.

Listening to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night on my drive to and from work. I had forgotten that there's a male-male love expression in Act 2. Yay, Will, for letting Antonio declare his love for Sebastian in no uncertain terms. Unlike the confusion involving Sebastian's sister Viola (who is impersonating a male eunuch but falls in love with her master, Orsino, who believes she is male, and endures in turn being loved by Orsino's love object, Olivia, who also believes she is male) there can be no question but what Antonio is perfectly aware of Sebastian's gender and yet expresses his obvious ardor openly.

Now, I think, to bed with me.

Even a two tonne boulders get broken up in a quarry and shipped off to be used as solid foundations somewhere XD

Well Shakespeare did get about a bit ;) Being an actor/writer type its just about guaranteed ;) *giggles*

To bed with you, I've put some fresh straw in there.

Rest your paffers, *falls into giggles just saying that word* That's just so cute, I always have this idea you're a very intellectual serious type :) And just associating a super cute word like paffers with you always gives me the giggles.

Ah, but you see, through cuteness I win entrance to your mind where I plant my intellectual seeds to someday grow to full formed trees of thought. ;p The paffers may yet trick you into looking at Shakespeare once more when you thought you were done with him...

Hardly :D

Bloody actor writers, all have been leading to the downfall of public morals.
All this death and sex even amongst relatives...I don't hold with all that :D

Nah. Don't blame the actors and writers. It's we librarians who've been destroying the moral fabric of society by putting filthy books on the shelves and letting children read them. You know, things like Darwin, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, and all those other sinful, wicked, non-Christian authors.

*chuckles* Actually I read some pretty risque stuff when I was little by accident in the public libraries XD I'm glad of that.
