Broken

People always ask us why we don’t like Gainesville, and it’s so hard to pinpoint. Certainly one of the reasons, though, is that shit just doesn’t work right down here. Case in point: the main library on campus. I turned in a recalled book last night, a full hour before closing (yes, on the day that it was due– what are you, the police?). I brought it into the library and took it to the Circulation book drop. I didn’t turn it in to the book drop outside the library because I wanted it to be taken off of my account sooner rather than later. People, it’s still on my account. The Circ workers last night weren’t outwardly busy and yet, what, couldn’t be bothered to empty the bookdrops sitting four feet away and discharge the books? And here’s where I go all Andy Rooney on you, grousing about stickers on fruit and stuff: where’s that midwestern work ethic I grew up with?!? I worked at a university library my entire undergraduate career and let me tell you, that shit would have never flown there. If I get a library fine because of this, there will be hell to pay. And while I’ve got your attention, let me tell you about stickers on fruit, too!
