Been extremely busy today, too busy to do any slacking. Arguing with the Tory on the staff who thinks that Michael Howard getting in would be a great thing. Last week he was quoting 'if one in ten Labour voters spontaneously turned into flamingos in sombraroes then the Tories would get in' approvingly. Tuesday it was down to 'one in five', and today he was going 'one in four'. Still, he's going to see Kylie Minogue in Concert tomorrow for the second time in one week, the lecherous old perv.
I've had a meeting with the head of the library's IT department this afternoon and we're going to do a blog for our library service. Now I have to write up what we've agreed for a management meeting on Monday where it could get roasted alive by the library managers. I have to keep reminding myself that I shouldn't put jokes in a semi-official document, which is a pity because that's a paragraph about Dan Brown's tinfoil beenie antics that will never see the light of day.
And we seem to have been visited by Jehovah's Witnesses, found a couple of copies of 'Awake!' stuffed in with the travel books. I mean, JC stuff clearly goes at 289.92! (Aah, librarian humour) Still, it's benign compared to the person a couple of years ago who was going round all the libraries in North London, finding their books on Europe and the Balkan wars and sticking in notices about how Blair was guilty of war crimes and should be impeached and sent to the I.C.C. We didn't get a repeat performance before or after Afghanistan or Iraq, either the medication finally kicked in or ze approved of that invasion.
