So when I went to the bus stop after class, there was this dude in this really cool grey suit (like, distinctive and slightly quirky and old-fashioned, but I don't know what they call the pattern) who also looked like the lovechild of Jamie Jaime [spellitrightyouuselesscur] Lannister and an ex of mine.( Me being awkward and making up goofy GoT-related stories in my head )
Library fee. D*=
Jun. 2nd, 2012 11:52 am- I have $2.00 in library fees. D= I've never had a library fee before. I reserved some items, evidently failed to pick them up within the allotted ten days, and each accrued a 1.00 reshelving charge. Time flies, I thought I still had a couple days left to retrieve them.
- I'm outside with the laptop (yes, I'm really getting a kick out of having a laptop with a like 6-hour battery charge for the first time in my life) and the aroma of burning plastic periodically arrives upon the gentle breeze.
- Laptop/cafe culture: if you have a laptop, you automatically qualify as trustworthy to keep an eye on another patron's laptop whilst they disappear for a few minutes to make a purchase or use the restroom. I guess the (actually pretty reasonable) assumption is that 1.) you have your own laptop, so why steal someone else's and 2.) empathy exists: I wouldn't want mine stolen, so why would I steal or let someone steal yours?
Someone could set up a pretty nice racket based upon this social more though. "Well, I asked that guy with the wide-brimmed hat and fake mustache to watch it, and when I came back he was gone, along with both the laptops." "Funny, same thing happened yesterday to someone else, with the guy with the toupée and no mustache."
