I do prefer the arse, but you can't dismiss the leg. They're joined at the hip, so to speak.
(I really can't believe I said that. That was trully the worst joke I've ever made, ever.)

Oh, I thought a job at the library would be cool, too. Until I got one. I work at the East Asian Library at USC. I do book-shelving, T-taping, sitting at the circulation desk (where I usually get a second task b/c there's nearly zero traffic), filing records, and every other monotonous chore. All the books are either in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, so none of them really interest me (I can read Chinese, but I'd rather not). Shelving's boring. Anything to do with records is boring. T-tape gets boring after a while. Call numbers give me a headache. If I didn't have work study, I'd be outta here in a sec. However, I tend to gravitate toward the arts and I need variety. I don't mean to say it's a bad job, just that it's a bad job for me.

Isn't it a bit of a pain for USC to keep their library in East Asia?

Well, I just got a letter today. I'll be going to the main branch Tuesday to fill out forms and take a test or two...

A test? You have to take a test to be a shelver? Does your area have an inordinately large number of people who can't recite the English alphabet, or comprehend the decimal system?

Well, you have to be sure, you know. Since the majority of young people in the state went to public school...

Heh. I would have failed Social Interaction, in high school. Especially after I came to the realization that my peers were, in general, nincompoops with a serious dependency on irrelevant behaviors including athleticism, 'fashion', and 'malling,' who mindlessly believe everything the TV stations/churches/other nincompoops tell them to.
But in college I got over that attitude a bit and learned to deal with people. Now I work with the public on a daily basis and only sneer at their general idiocy when I'm safely at home. Or on here.

I'm posting this from the computer terminal at the new Edmondson Pike branch Nashville Library!
Don't have a job here yet, but maybe they'll contact me soon. Oh, well. I'm happy just to have the library six blocks from my house.
This place is beautiful!
Smells good too...
