Work Experience started today! I am super British-Girl; I work in a library and I drink tea. AT THE SAME TIME.

I feel it is necessary to regale you all with amusing tales of My First Day on Work Experience in a Library.

The first half did not go by too badly. I spent the first two and half hours being shown round and then having tea. That was fun. Sadly, then I had to go and do actual librarian stuff. That involves issuing (scanning/date-stamping books so that people can take them away) and discharging (scanning books back into the library). Both of these things must be done in front of people.

There are four main incidents that I need to draw direct attention to. They involve a photocopier, me making this noise - "jkdsjkbdasjb", a crappy numerical sorting system, a woman with no spine and a ridiculous name and a laser. Intrigued? Read on...

( Woes and Mockings: Library Counter Work )

If you don't feel like reading all of that, let me tell you that Three and Four were the highlights, and Four is well worth your time, if you want to despair at the human race.

Tomorrow at the library, I only have to be on the counter for the morning and then I get to go away into a dark room and put leaflets into packets. I feel special! *dance*
