Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

No, bookbinding's done off-site. Most of the time I'm dealing directly with patrons and doing a lot of the tasks that the people at this branch, who are not as computer-literate, aren't comfortable doing.

Job situation's still waffly, though we're down to the nitty-gritty service withdrawal and lack of full-out strike. Not much of anything's happening, we're caught in employment stasis. We've stopped providing free internet access, cut out all the programs (which leave the librarians with most of their jobs gone), stopped taking fines, and probably there will be more withdrawals if they continue to refuse to bargain with us. Most of the workers would rather just go on strike at this point.

I should show you my Monk bound edition of the Bible.
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:19 / 19.11.07
You have a monk bound bible? Couldnt you use cow like most other people?

its conversation like that why I keep coming back to the lateshift.

Not for the third-Sunday-of-ev'ry-month where I collapse in a fit and exhale 'I fail at human interaction!' before sobering up?

Or the cheese, cookies, and liquor convos?

Cows have a self preservation instict. It feels wrong to use their skin for aesthetics.

Plus, monkskin is impervious to thunder, zombies and protestant rebellions. So it's a more hardwearing binding.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

I thought it was for the green-skinned alien women being oppressed by the alien space-patriarchy?

The lateshift's hum is easing my sore throat ever so slightly. Though I still want blankets.
 
 
This Sunday
22:23 / 19.11.07
There's a joke about a monk's steadfast refusal to use his skin, so somebody found a use for him, but I'm not getting it to work.
 
 
Princess
22:27 / 19.11.07
It has legs though.
I'm not sure if I have the gumption to put it together. Hows about we all just post LOL and pretend that someone clever came and made it into a humourous thing for us?
 
 
Princess
22:28 / 19.11.07
LOL
LMAO
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:29 / 19.11.07
Dammit! That monk/book joke just made me spew coffee all over my keyboard.
 
 
This Sunday
22:29 / 19.11.07
ZOMG! Most hilarious thing I read all week! Who was that masked man?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:29 / 19.11.07
LOLz!

*looks at the ceiling*

It's really difficult to stand on desk for an hour and pretend that you don't want to curl up into a little ball and weep from the aching while patrons come up to check out books and make ridiculous small talk that doesn't mean anything.
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:31 / 19.11.07
you need a foam bat that you can bop them on the head and yell things like "Dismissed! Begone! Awayyourself!"
 
 
Princess
22:31 / 19.11.07
Scan pornography to their accounts, then cahrge them when they don't return it.
That'll make for conversation.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:32 / 19.11.07
Or I could just huddle under the desk beside the computer tower and bathe in its radiations.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:34 / 19.11.07
Perhaps I'll place holds on their accounts for "Federal F**" and "The N-Word of Narcissus" (by Joseph Conrad). Never fails to make for awkward conversation later.
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:40 / 19.11.07
just rip out the last page of all the VC Andrews books
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:43 / 19.11.07
Or make a book made entirely of V.C. Andrews final chapters!

Actually, that would probably be a pretty amusing little project.
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:49 / 19.11.07
Or just have them reprinted in LOLCAT.
 
 
Princess
22:57 / 19.11.07
It appears that internet people are not going to ask me for sex anymore tonight. Harumph. Why are they all asleep?

(Was going to try and make a joke about badgering and dogging, but couldn't be bothered to make a puchline)

Oh good evening everyone who still cares enough to visit the crumbling, degenerate, hopeless collection of fora that is Barbelith.

NIce to see y'all.
 
 
Princess
23:00 / 19.11.07
Hey Ms. Euxenia, how's tricks?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:03 / 19.11.07
We can take turns propositioning you if it'll help, Princess.

Euxenia! Hello!
 
 
Princess
23:06 / 19.11.07
That would be entirely appropriate. Go team Barbesleaze.

Just got this from a 75 year old:

small talk will break the ice, lol, or what you would like to do if alone in my flat with me, maybe a naked ten pin bowling match on nintendo Wii, lol loser gets sucked.

I thought older men would be suave and subtle. Not so bloody guache and l33t deformed.

And why mention the wii? I'm not looking for toys. I am not impressed by your ability to own a Wii.


Internet dating is a very mixed bag.

Hello all. Tricks is fine, gaged and in my closet. I feed her every 12 hours, give or take.

Sooo, would ya like to see my detachable penis? If you chose yes, please indicate which one.
 
 
Papess
23:08 / 19.11.07
Holy bejesus! How did she get out!?
 
 
Princess
23:09 / 19.11.07
Yes.

Vegatable/Mineral (Not animal)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:11 / 19.11.07
I'm not sure why someone might think that bowling, particularly simulated bowling, might get you in the mood.
 
 
Papess
23:11 / 19.11.07
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:12 / 19.11.07
I say!
 
 
Princess
23:12 / 19.11.07
My phantom labia is receding at the thought of pepper-seed getting lodged in sensitive membranes.

And the mineral?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:13 / 19.11.07
Marvel at the quartz crystal dong?
 
 
Papess
23:14 / 19.11.07
Is wood a mineral?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:15 / 19.11.07
Nah, it's technically vegetable.
