The last time I asked a librarian a question was about twenty minutes ago. It was, "Jesus, why are you in every doorway I need to go through today?"

*I am married to a librarian.
** The answer was, "I'm feeling festive!"

Ugh, that's a challenge. Have you ever had any horoscope people? At my first library, I had a woman who would call every morning and ask me to read her the horoscopes for two signs, then explain all the AMAZING and EERIE ways it was right. It made me *incredibly* sad, so I did it every time.

I fucking love librarians. Seriously. You all are right up there with teachers as underpaid heroes. No matter what a dick I was, my local librarians never gave me shit, nor stymied my love of reading.

Yeah, Monday night I got to have a really long conversation with a guy that was basically an excuse to talk to me about his junk, and the time a Great Dane whacked his with its tail. Sigh.

I've done some time at the reference desk and I can tell you, the odd questions continue to roll in, even in the age of Google. I once had a woman ask me to help her find her high school yearbook online. I made a show of looking around but explained that she likely would not find a digitized version of it. She was

Those of us from Colorado have known this for years. The drive from Denver (5,280 feet) up to the mountains (>10,000 feet) is always a flatulent experience.

I also enjoyed Kinja's privacy update link that showed up at the top of the page today. It clearly stated:

HAHAHAHAHA perfect. This cat is all of us.

Cassiebear, why do you hate cute kitty celebrities?

she smeared the poop. there was also pee & the nutella i was eating before i fell asleep

i was over at my friends house to prep for her Christmas party. we woke up after a nap to find the tree felled & with poop all over it. the cat was seated on the dining table licking her paws with a look of withering contempt aimed at all the non felines in the room.

Thank you. There's nothing truckers love more than clogging up traffic for everyone else so they can pass another truck by going 1-2 mph faster than the truck they're passing.

Just from the gif, what the fuck was the red car doing hitting the brakes?

I had a shitty, abusive dad. Robin Williams kind of was a stand in father figure. As someone who has attempted suicide and been diagnosed with clinical depression, this breaks my heart.
