I will always appreciate the patrons who come up to the desk all chagrined and tell us “I’m so sorry, a soda can exploded in my car and ruined the book!” or “My daughter ate part of the book!” (True story, by the way – child had pica and apparently enjoyed eating paper), willing to… Continue reading The Manager
Stress Buying
Now, have I actually read any of them? …well…
Short Staffed
If only it was this easy. We’re currently short-staffed at my own place of work, and with it being Summer, we’re all feeling it. We just need a couple more bodies, that’s all. So if anyone else wants to fall from the ceiling, ready to sort some books, that’d be fantastic.
It’s a Cat Joke
You’re SUPPOSED to be unable to move because the cat’s on your lap, not pick it up and move it. That’s the JOKE. Geez. Some people.

One was throwing myself into my new hobby of writing fanfiction and letting that take over for a bit. Another was an avoidance of… Continue reading The Return
Fan Club Woes
The book being referenced here is A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, by T. Kingfisher. One of the best books I read last year – highly recommend. And yes, there is a semi-sentient sourdough starter named Bob who acts as the main character Mona’s familiar. And yes, he is the best character, alongside the animated… Continue reading Fan Club Woes
Watch at Work
Anxiety! Not just for home! Sometimes it comes with you to work and prevents you from getting things done until you’re left with a mountain of undone projects and a bucketload of guilt! So if you need your personification of time management to come to work with you to make sure you’re actually doing what… Continue reading Watch at Work
Pocket Watch
Wow, that’s a lot of writing in the fourth panel. But hopefully it gets my point across about the weird relationship between anxiety and time management. Especially with everything going on in the world recently… Also I hope I remember to draw Pocket Watch more than once. I like his design.
