Today I was reading "The Life History of a Star" today for the second or third time and came across something I thought was hilarious:

"When I feel organized enough to commit suicide, I will first feel compelled to go everywhere I've ever wanted to go. I'll buy tickets on credit [since I'll be dead, I won't have to pay the bills] and travel all over the world : Turkey, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Tibet. By then, I will no longer feel the need to kill myself, but because of the large bills I've acquired, I'll have to follow through."

Today at the library I realized I may have created a gigantic librarian disaster. I swear I will never be hired to work there ever again in my entire life. In fact, I might even become BANNED FOR LIFE. When you get magazines, you have to stamp them and put them away, but before that you have to RECORD THEM. I've done three sets of magazines [which is a whole whompload of magazines] and I haven't recorded them ONCE. When I was orientated [oriented? whats the word? oriented is wrong, isn't it?I don't even think oriented is a word. Anyway- ] I remember [now after pracically two months of working] being told about recording the magazines, but then I worked one week, was gone the next two weeks on vacation and then when I got back the computers were down and so I was writing down all of the serial numbers and whatnot by hand and it was really really insane and I guess I just.........forgot about recording them. I've always stamped them and put them in the little plastic thingys and put the old ones away in the right folders in the right order and everything. I can't believe how stupid I am. Today I went back and recorded all of the ones that I could, and the rest I will have to do next week [ my last week - aaaaaagh ]. Hopefully I can straighten it all out before anyones notices. I couldn't stand having the Librarians know that I made such a huge enormous mistake - it would bother me so much. I don't want them to think of me as a failure. Today Jody was talking about how she's going to miss me, and she told me that I'm really good at this job and I've been such a big help to her and never mind that but I really really like this job. I LIKE it. I can't stand babysitting, but I LIKE my job at the Library. I love Books, and I love helping people find books and recommending books to people and talking to people about books that I've read and enjoyed and discussing books with them. I can't believe how incredibly dumb I was. I just can't.
