Makes me sound mysterious, no, like a pirate?
Not really. Ok, this is maybe a little gross. If you get squicked out by hearing about another person’s eye problems, read no further.
I lost a contact lens in my eye, and I have no idea where it is. I really really hope that it fell out somewhere […]

In a metaphorical sense, I mean. My membership always comes up for renewal around October. By the time I finish adding up all the extra side groups I belong to, I’m wondering how I’m going to buy milk.

I taught 2 classes today. I have a cold, so I was not in a good mood when I was running some searches in one of the databases I was going to show my classes (the name of the database vendor rhymes with Christian Bale), only to discover that they had just switched on a […]

I swear, in some other dimension, I am a young adult librarian. I think I had my first homework help reference transaction today over the phone.
