Now With Not Just Noise, But Stink Too!
In a brave (if pathetic) attempt to work on the two massive papers I have to write in the next two weeks, I trekked back to the library today.
Where the construction workers had roped off a massive section of the main floor in order to do I have no idea what, but it involved a lot of noise--even more noise than usual, I should say. So that was bad. But I was coping, and toiling away in near isolation because almost no one was left in the library. The very last of the make-up finals was this morning, so who else had reason to be working in the library?
Apparently, some guy. Who a) doesn't go to the law school, and b) needed to wear the entire bottle of aftershave or whatever sort of stink-juice it was, and c) had to sit directly behind me. Not even on the other side of the table behind me, but right behind me. In an otherwise empty and massive room, he's sitting two feet away and smelling the place right up.
*onset of migraine*
So I gave up, trekked back home through the sleet (nice!) and tried to ignore the little sports fans in order to get a few more hours of work done. Which I did, sort of.
Seriously, what more are they going to do to us to get us to quit using the library? I'm telling you, it's become a war zone. And tomorrow is a day-long proof-reading gig, the most likely spot for it being--why, yes! The library!
The Problem must be lack of Genuine Librarians in your library. If there were Genuine Librarians there, there would be NO Nonsense, trust me.

Don't you get one of the 400 reserved tables for being on LR?
Us poor proles have to fight the undergrads for half as many spots as their were last year. Also speaking of undergrads... what the hell man? There were nights last week where I swear at least two thirds of the students in there were on the wrong side of the midway. They must've had papers or something.

Yeah, we get reserved tables... when other people aren't using them. And actually, although it seems as though we have 400 tables, we don't have enough to even seat 4 of us at a table.
I think the undergrads are coming over from the dorm. You know there's a tunnel, right? Maybe we should start barricading it. I saw way more organic chemistry than Con Law being studied.
Why anyone would choose to study in our god-forsaken library when they have reasonable alternatives, I really don't know. Did you know the main library has a cafe in it? We are so neglected.
