Lizzy, I should have asked this before, but what would you be doing with the flour?

#402

I think I know!

#403

Flour dust suspended in air is explosive—as is any mixture of a finely powdered flammable substance with air[18] (see flour bomb).

:O

I haven't been inebriated in a year and a half (which was my 30th). It was a doozy. I'm still hungover.

Also this Target commercial just said "Neon Mongoose"

#409

why are there neon mongeese on a target commercial?

#410

I have no idea! It was just the words, but I assume they were talking about bikes. It makes buying mongoose accessories and paraphernalia on ebay and etsy a lot harder cause you only get bike results.

I'm working on Nervous Horse submissions and using a stand-up fan to blow on me so I can keep the doors and windows open (so I can use this gorgeous natural light).

Am I going to die if I leave this fan on or only if I go to sleep?

#413

Why do you need to keep a fan on to keep the windows open?

#414

To keep some air circulating. It's quite humid here. Also, so that it doesn't feel as hot as it really is.

Hmmmmmm . . . I accept this explanation for now, but I'll be keeping an eye on you.

NOOOOO! Crap on a conveyor belt. You've thwarted my plans for world domination! How did you know? I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you snoopy kids.

I'm teaching the Excel Basics class at the library this Thursday. I guess I should probably um learn Excel before then.

#423

Hai! I should learn Excel too.

#424

I used to excel at Excel, butt I don't think I've touched it since the Windows 3.1 era.

#425

I don't think I've used it since 2003/2004.

#426

I had to do some Excel for a computer literacy class thingy in college a few years ago, but I forgot all i knew about it since then.

#427

Same k

#428

I've been at the library since 845am; I don't think I'll be getting a lunch break today. I really hoped someone would come relieve me. I snuck some seeds though but dang I'm hungry.

#429

I just pretended to drop something so I could eat a banana under my desk. I can't believe how ridiculous my life has become.

#430

Why is it that you're not allowed to eat at the library? It can't be because it bothers other customers (because it doesn't) and it can't be because it damages the books (because people take the same books home and read them while eating/drinking/bathing etc.).

Also, it's outrageous that bums who go to the library drunk and maybe talk to themselves and maybe bump into shelves a bit get kicked out when rich people can walk around freely talking to the phone looking all rich and obnoxious.

I don't like to overpolice our patrons, but I will definitely stop cell phone shenanigans. I have a high tolerance for the homeless population that works here, but we gotta get them out of here once they start looking up adult material online or being an ornery cuss around the kids.

I work at the Reference Desk upstairs. There's a strict no eating/drinking policy for the whole library, barring the student lounge and then the staff kitchen. If no one comes to relieve me for my break, I just don't get one. I usually get a 15-minute break and that's all. I don't get a meal break because I switch campuses at 3pm. They count my transit from one to another as my meal break even though I'm operating a car.

So no, not ideal.

Does anyone play chess here? I desperately want to play chess.

#434

Like on Chess.com? I play chess (as you may have surmised from the non-fiction story I sent Nervous Horse).

I am very jumpy after something that happened here. I was on my way to the restroom (and I real hoof it when I walk), and a patron gets up and grabs me by the arm so I could help him with a tech issue. Because I was walking so briskly, he almost pulled my arm out of my socket. It was really scary and I wish strangers wouldn't touch me.

#435

I would be very uncomfortable if a stranger touched me.

Yes, on Chess.com. Also on FICS, but I prefer Chess.com because of the longer time limits.

I'm Vompatti on Chess.com if you or anyone else wishes to add me.

It's been ages since I played, so I'm going through the password-resetting process. Be with you in a mo'

Someone just walked into the library wearing a KGB tee.

Better than CIA.

I used to work for them.

#440

Someone just walked into the library with a rain stick. It's going to be one of those days.

#441

A rainstick is a long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles or beans that has small pins or thorns arranged helically on its inside surface.

Your library seems like an interesting library k

#442

That's for sure.

#443

Sometimes it sounds like people are having illegal drag races outside my window.

I play on Gameknot.com as thellama73, if anyone wants a game. I am not too good, though.

#445

I used to be good (at the charter school where I began my career, chess was a part of the math curriculum). Now I'd probably make a lot of foolish mistakes.

#446

My dad taught me how the pieces move but I never played enough to actually learn how to play.
