There are more and more patrons coming into the library covered in calamine lotion, with oozing eyes, and suffering from other very obvious and probably contagious health problems.  Mmm.  I just love helping someone find a book when touching the same surfaces will very likely make me rush to the store to buy calamine lotion, too.  Thanks for sharing that, guys.

If I could pull it off, I would try to act all grandmotherly and politely convince them to go home and take care of themselves.  Might have to wait a few years before I can do that.

People are also starting to answer their cell phones more often in the library.  I really don’t mind that, since it adds a new layer of entertainment to my day.  I’ll be working on a spreadsheet when a phone rings with, “If you want my body and you think I’m sexy.”  I look up and am surprised every single time by the person who picked that as their ringtone.  Really?  That’s your song?  The song/patron combo changes every day, and the shock remains.  People are funny.
