Quick look-in

mayhapToday I spent another couple of hours putting stickers on the spines of books identifying them as belonging to our branch, an exercise of extreme pointlessness.
Why, you ask, was this so pointless? Well, these were reference books, so they pretty much stay put ...
I am not complaining that they want to pay me to do this, however. Not one bit.
I will complain, however, that the public restrooms are still under construction, with no end in sight. The construction workers haven't even bothered to put in an appearance lately. I understand that once they have finished, our employee bathrooms will be next to go, but I am certain that I will be long, long gone by the time.
I need to sit down right soon and finish up my Bellatrix/Ginny fic for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pornish_pixies, which has gotten to the stage where what I actually need to do is cut a bunch of it out to make it a better story. I hardly ever end up writing like that, making tonnes of useful writing and editing advice generally unusable to me. ;)
Edit: Things I am anxiously awaiting:
Columbo: The Complete First Season
My dad loved, loved, loved Columbo, starting in the 70s. He imparted this love to me by calling for me whenever he found it on TV so we could watch it together. Love Peter Falk and his rumbly, grumbly voice. (You may also know him as the grandfather in the Princess Bride. You quite possibly don't know that he has a glass eye.) Love Columbo and his trenchcoat and his "Just one more thing ... " Love inverted mysteries--many of the classic episodes have quite good ones, too.
Peter and the Stargazers, a Peter Pan prequel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
Happened to hear about this flipping through Writer's Digest on break at the library, of all things. Dave Barry is my man since childhood, and it really looked from what I saw like it's going to be a nifty book.

And where are the employee bathrooms anyway?
In the area accessible by going through the door straight back behind the circulation desk, or also by going through the door on the right-hand side of the area behind the circ desk.
