Does everything have to go wrong at the library? I mean, seriously, it’s not like it’s that crazy around here. But it is. And I’m not getting any work done. Boo hoo.
What’s happening now?
Also, is the online book-suggestion thing working right now? I’ve been having issues with it…
Just paper and printer issues galore. Everything’s locked up on Sunday, so I...

"Me: Hey, I got this random check in my box, and I don't know what it's for. It might be for my student work.
Berry's incompetent financial aid advisor: No, it's completely unrelated and not connected in anyway to your student work. You can keep it!
Me: Yay! I need to buy gas anyway.
Berry's incompetent financial aid advisor: Oh! Jay kay! You can't keep it. We just wanted to see you suffer because we're inherently evil. Cheers!
Fuck you, Herman Hall."
Yay! We're a higher learning institution! Let's reward incompetance and punish any semblence to reason and logic!
J.D. Salinger Dead at 91 →
Really? Does this always really have to happen? Do all of my role models or people I admire really have to die at once? Or in pairs? I mean, come on! The summer of 2008 was really bad enough: Tim Russert and George Carlin died in the same month. That’s like a sucker punch that I didn’t see coming.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this all started with Kurt Vonnegut’s death. That...

Larry: The sunglasses?
Jeff: Give them to me, let me take care of them.
Larry: You want me to give a gift now?
Jeff: You gave it to her.
Larry: After this "entertaining" evening?
Jeff: C'mon, you gave it to her.
Larry: I don't think so. No.
Jeff: That's called "Indian giving".
Larry: Yes, I know what it's called. It's a very racist term but I'm okay with that.
Great Revenge Stories: Michael Kohlhaas →
I have to say, I’m liking this novella class that I’m taking. Michael Kohlhaas was a short and speedy read as I finished it this morning. I’m so glad I was actually able to find a translated version and read it online.
