Riff Raff In The Library

And I'm not talking about the sketchy 3Ls studying for the Bar.  The other day someone came in off the street and started rifling through a girl's stuff. We leave our stuff on the tables all the time, as I may have mentioned. When we're just going to make a call, or get a drink or something... we're not going to pack up all our stuff. That would be inefficient. Besides, it's such a small school there's always someone around who knows you at least by sight, and would know if some stranger were picking up your laptop. God forbid.

Which is why this guy was immediately asked (by a student) what he was doing; which was an effective tactic in that it stopped him pawing over that particular set of belongings, but ineffective in that he just moved to another table and started going through someone else's stuff. Security came, he left. No laptops stolen, anyway.

However, I think library security could be better, especially in the evening. Also, there could be a Starbucks (or equivalent) outpost in the lobby. A salon would be nice too, so I could finally get my hair cut. And a masseuse, that would be quite helpful.

Could we at least have vending machines a little closer than the extreme opposite corner of the building, several floors down? Thank you.

Sniff, Sniff, Ew

I was all settled in at my library table. I had my tea, my piles of books, my laptop, and my determination to ignore the beautiful summery day. I was even making steady progress on the outlines.

Until the guy came in wearing a bottle of cologne, I was doing well.

It came down to this: do I want to stick it out and hope that the stench wears off, or do I want to pack up and lug everything home, where (aside from Dogness) it's much less smelly. Since I don't find that migraines, induced by perfume or cologne, are good for my productivity, I think going home was my best option.

People. Have some consideration for those of us who don't want to smell your sexy self from 20 paces. Thank you.

I Don't Know Her, But I Worship Her

There's a girl in the library wearing pink slippers.

With rhinestones on them.
