Indignation
I was just shushed at the SLIS library while working by a table full of uppity undergraduates. HELLO, this is a teaching library! I really want to scream in their faces.

Katie!!! Did you tell their puny asses that it IS a talking library?? Skye and I were shushed as well by a pile of crap undergrad who said, "Excuse me, but if you want to make banal comments about literature, could you do it somewhere else? I'm trying to read." Those familiar with this story know that right then and there Skye and I had to lay down the line and tell the fishface what was up. And he had to move.
Stand up to your right to talk in the SLIS library, Katie!! If you need some ass-whoopin' back up, I'm there.
i sense a turf war comin' on...
when you're a jet, you're a jet all the way....
Oh hell no. Oh no they did not.
Rather than correcting them, I simply continued to talk. And yet they stayed...and stayed...
Don't you WORK in the SLIS library? That adds a special level of heinousness to the crime.
You should have directed them to Dewey Decimal number 613, "Promotion of Health", where they might learn that those who wish to continue in good health should not shush a librarian in her own (talking) library. Or perhaps 152, "Perception, movement, emotions, drives", where they might learn to perceive the signs that they are causing negative emotions in the librarian and that she is feeling driven to whup them.
I think the tiny little explanatory note on the door of the SLIS library needs to be blown up to poster size and brought out (propped on an easel, no less) for precisely these situations. The next time you get shushed, simply pull out your trusty poster-on-easel and set it up 3 inches away from their stupidly-shushing faces. You could even use a laser pointer and make them read along. "This is a teaching library. The level of noise may be louder than in most libraries. If you have a problem with this... GO BACK TO COLLEGE!!"
Your MOM goes to college!
I'm not one to use the phrase 'lol,' I think it's silly. But in this case, I am actually laughing out loud. Watch out SLIS library! If anyone shushes me this morning there's going to be trouble! *cue appropriately intimidating theme music here*
Katie, what the hell are you doing up at 6:37 and if you must be up at the hour, why are you posting to our blog?
Girl's gotta prepare her "get outta my library!" routine bright and early! I vote for a dance off with the little whippersnappers next time they show up, Katie. I think you could do a pretty fantastic re-enactment of Michael Jackson's BEAT IT video!!
My vote for the Michael Jackson themed rumble would be "Bad"... but only if we could recruit Wesley Snipes.
Disclaimer: I am only up at 6:37 because I have to open the library. Of course I post to the blog that early because I have to have some sort of compelling reason to get up in the morning!
I vote for "Thriller". Then there could be zombies.
