Yes Ma'am, You Have to Return It

One of the strangest things that I have encountered occurred today. A woman asked if I could order a book for her at the library. I happily informed her that she could check out that VERY one if she chose to. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said "But then I would have to bring it back, wouldn't I?" That is the general idea behind a library, no? She then wanted me to write the publisher and tell them that she would like a copy of the book and to send it to her and she would send them a check. I told her that she would probably have better luck going to the local bookstore and picking it up as it is a fairly popular, new children's book. She stomped off angrily. *sigh* I hate times like this because I was actually extremely helpful and polite and still got the shitty attitude from her. And people wonder why I'm such a bitter individual. You only become a pickle if you're surrounded by vinegar, folks!

Wrong Kind of Love

Why do I love you?
You are no good for me dear
and maybe that's why.

Generosity

I was getting mine
but you got up and walked off.
Thank you for nothing
