So, while again left to my own devices, I realized why I love the idea of this job. I had a rather emotional night and decided I should be really pissed off about my emotions instead of sleep. I was very worried that the edginess I have been fighting for a while would manifest in a way that would make anything I tried to do a task worse than imaginable. Instead I found the intricate tedium of checking the status of the Storage audio books a perfect distraction from my own pathetic bleakness.
I did learn a couple things. First off was that books can have more than one ISBN ( ISBNs are assigned to text-based monographic publications). I had always assumed that a books ISBN was akin to a persons social security number- there SHOULD only be one. The fact that I now know different, explains why I have had some trouble finding text books for classes in the past, or specific renditions of novels. Depending on any number of things and altercations to the item there can be as many possible ISBNs.
Which in retrospect makes perfect sense.
I also learned that for the 3DS you can buy replacement cases fore the game cartridges.
I did not learn this because the library buys these, but because they happened to find several games which had been opened to the internal makings. The insides were taken out, and replaced with a detailed paper drawing of what would look like the inner workings- even so far as the writing of the librarians on them being replicated.
That is an ABSURD amount of effort to steal a game. Unless you already have a 3ds, the pawn value is generally unforgiving and pure shit- thanks EB Games. Your employees deserve better and you are lucky that they have little prospects other than using their gaming knowledge.
On a better note, while checking the quality of the donated DVDs against the one’s already on the floor, I found a copy of one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen. Captain from Castile (1945).
My step father gave me a copy of the novel years ago, and as i was reading it, out-loud said, “This would make a fantastic 40’s film.” And they did (1947). While it’s only about half the novel, maybe a little less- it plays just as it did in my head. And it was so hard to find. Back in the day when Netflix MAILED you DVDs they had the hardest time finding me one that was not stolen or damaged.
I also let them know that I am completely excited to see how the high school library runs. they have integrated the school library into the public one so that it can stay open later, and have access to more items. It will be really rather traumatizing to be in the place I spent four horrible years, and now be in an adult teaching like position. But I really want to know how a public schools library runs different as there is a chance I will spend many years of my life in one.
