Library Fu!

[whiskyinmind]

I just completely went ninja on a student there. He wanders past the window of our office (when I say window I mean enquiry point, not a glass thing in the wall) talking very loudly on his mobile phone.

So I went out the side door, waited for him to turn the corner, then I pounced.

Loud Sho Voice "'Scuse me, you need to keep the volume down and you need to switch that phone off in the library."

Bloke looks at me, continues talking, I realise he's eleventy billion feet tall and stand my ground.

I ninged.

Go me!

(thank you all so much for your comments to my flocked post yesterday - I will be replying to each and every one of you in person)

eta bloody hell! What is it with people today? Walking back through from the other department I encounter another student doing the exact same thing! So he got the same treatment. (And of course the fact that twice so far today I've had Sam Winchester telling the world that his daddy shot their daddy in the head through the medium of my phone* has no bearing on this...)

* my new awesome phone (still the same number, just a new handset) wot I got given at the weekend by wenchpixie 'cause mine is slowly dying. (it's the Steve phone, I may encase it in lucite)

You're a poet & you didn't know it :D

We short people have to stand our ground, but it's still funny to think of you standing up to a guy that tall... :)

And I didn't have time to wash my hair this morning before I left the house so it's all scraped back into a tight knot. I'm the stereotype librarian now, I just need the twin set and pearls (and the chain for my glasses...)

Are you wearing your Sam boots? 'Cause they don't really fit with the librarian image :)

Until you get the twin set & pearls (I'm sure you can make a chain up out of something), if you carry around a pen or a stick to poke noisy people with, that'll help with the image...

I'm actually not wearing my Sam boots, but I'm wearing my high leg combat-type boots under my jeans. They definitely don't fit the librarian image...

I should twist my hair into a bun and stick pencils in it.

Ok, that still works - kickass boots help with the telling people off.

You should do that, then you can practice pencil throwing at people you don't like, and if you're really good at it, they won't notice who it is, 'cause they're practically hidden in your hair.

Until you get a proper throwing aim down, you could print off a picture of Claudio and have target practice :)

Ha! I could get a dartboard and put Claudio's picture on it.

After all, he's clearly who both of the loudmouths were talking to, since it's all his fault.

So if you did some kind of spell on the dartboard so that it actually worked on Claudio too, then eventually the loudmouths would stop talking on the phone in the library! See, you now have a Plan :D

(& yes, it is all his fault *g*)

We have a *flawless* plan!

It is because we are awesome *nods*
