memorable quotes from my job as a librarian

me: oh my gosh your desk is so clean! what happened? // cataloguing librarian: i quit. haha no i wish. i got a new desk

library director: [library in the nearest rich town] just got new furniture so they’re donating it all their old shit to us like we’re beggars and it’s a charity act // clerk: are we gonna take it? // director: hell yes we haven’t had new furniture in 15 years

my boss: okay so if im doing storytime at 11am and you’re doing zentangle at 11:15 and charlotte is picking up the furniture, WHO’S GREETING THE MAYOR

70yr old clerk: if i ask stephanie for a book recommendation and she gives me something smutty one more time -

my boss: i just think you might have a religious calling - a vocation [me choking on my water]

“i told the director a joke about having 15 cats but she didnt understand it and now she thinks i actually want that many cats and she just checked out a bunch of cat books for me”

me: uh, why is this book filed under ‘holiday scary’? [after much confusion] reference librarian: i forgot the word for halloween so i put it in the system under holiday scary and forgot to change it

clerk, while calling a game of bingo: to anyone here under the age of 60 in this room, this is all you have to look forward to. and trust me, you will look forward to it.”

me: is this coffee? // clerk: it’s decaf // me: damn do old people not know how to party?

my boss, talking to me at the librarian luncheon: have you, like, ever been to a party? // me: in the email about this you called it a party so yes

my boss: did you water the tomatoes? // clerk: don’t call them tomatoes. that’s mean and it shows how bad of a job we’ve done growing them. right now call them dying weeds.

me: sometimes i think that me wearing this summer reading hat is entirely unnecessary and you just make me wear the hat to make fun of me // clerk: sometimes?

my boss: it’s not breaking in if the gate is unlocked // me: the gate’s locked // my boss: okay so it might be breaking in

me: we’re making risotto! // clerk: this isn’t risotto // me: okay so we’re making tomatoes and macaroni //clerk: except we only have two tomatoes so we’re basically just making macaroni // director: i’m so glad we put so much money into funding the garden this year

#gin.txt #my sibling causing shit. my mother trying to nap in the living room where there's a bunch of activity going on #my parents now napping and sleeping during times they're active normally #dealing with these people is tiring. I eagerly await the day that I leave here

Time's not even a flat circle rn

It's a sphere

#gin.txt #the driver's license.#I am very happy for my partner don't get me wrong #however. the last time someone got a license ahead of me they tried to push me and they wothdrew when I refused #I have told him about this so he knows #and I don't blame him for the trauma either #but holy shit am I Scared #what if he tries to push me for it too?? and what if he withdraws if I say no?#ohhhh my god. I need to do Something #not sure but I don't know whether to withdraw/communicate/one-up him #I'll. probably end up talking about it at some point down the road #but still-

"I'm not accusing anyone of anything-"

I know you deeper than you know yourself.

#gin.txt #it does not matter how many times you sa it or how much you mean it sincerely #you did accuse someone in the past and suspicious denial is a thing #context: Dad asked about my mom doing overtime and it landing on a specific night #like??? it could just be that that noght is consistently short-staffed #dear lord. I hate when he tries to talk to me about Mom #he uses me as a marriage counselor constantly (using my degree as 'proof')#dude. shut up and ACTUALLY go talk to your wife #sad thing is is it seems like that's impossible for him to grasp #my parents' marriage is so fucking shitty due to communication issues/mistreatment and trauma/their own dysfunctions #my dad. so fucking irritating

I debated bringing it up in a phone call

But, the wheel of fate (a random wheel generator that I usually use for mundane decisions) has told me I should let the issue go

I think I can do that

#gin.txt #...I invited him to a phone-call with partial intent to confront him #but after an exhausting shift from work I'm rethinking the importance of it #do I really want to repeatedly push and have him explode? or clam up harder?#not to mention part of life and relationships is going through rough patches together #I'll get pissy if he doesn't change in a month or something #otherwise for right now it'll be dropped entirely #it's whatever man
