In good news, I got my presentation finished and it went very well. In less good news, I didn't get the paper done. I'm still working on it (but I have ACTUAL PARAGRAPHS NOW), which is why this entry will be very brief.
While I was sitting here with the window open, wondering what else to say, a patron comes up and asks that I switch out the headphones he's checked out. He feels around his pockets and says, "I left my wallet in my pants." I really hope he meant "jacket." The counter's very high, though, so I really have no idea if he was wearing pants or not. PANTS: THEY ARE IMPORTANT.
Normally this is not the shift that gets the weirdos. Sketchy people trying to convince me they're students around midnight (when non-students get kicked out), yes. People who inexplicably are trying to print in color at 2 AM, yes. But the weirdos are generally limited to my Sunday afternoon shift, when I have to deal with the General Public. The General Public is weird. Students who come into the library during the day are somehow weirder than ones who come in at night. It seems counter-intuitive.
Anyway, I should get back to work on my paper.
