1. I love how the new version of Firefox spell checks for you. This is quite nearly my dream come true.
2. RDA = Reference Desk Assistant = higher hourly wage for surfing the internet than for the “important, real world” work I do during the day.
3. Why don’t summer starters realize that I will not under any circumstances do their citations for them? Also, if you are doing a legal practice assignment, you might want to bring your bluebook. Just saying.
4. Do people really think it is appropriate to talk on their cell phones in a library? I told three people to turn the damn thing off in the span of two hours.
5. Also, no freaking kids allowed in the library! And I don’t know if there is a professor here that specializes in Mexican law and I don’t know how to find out - I am trying to determine where I am going to live two years from now, so go away!
6. Right now, the building services crew is taking down the Reading Room’s chandeliers - some sort of annual maintenance. I wish I could watch, but I am stuck behind a desk answering questions for idiots.
7. I utilized Firefox’s spell checker twice in that last sentence.
8. Seriously, the next person that comes in here with a child or a cell phone is going to get the stink eye from yours truly.
9. Summer in A2 has turned me into some sort of raving mad harpy. But if this is true, I am well on my way to becoming a true townie.

Apologies for the law school-laden post. I spend ten to twelve hours here on Mondays between the two jobs. Sometimes it messes with my brain.
