Sighs...

A very interesting middle-aged gentleman with crumbs all over his face just walked in and asked if we had Hagar the Horrible on DVD.

sigh.

When I told him no, he asked where he could find it. I told him the only place that I could find it was on Netflix. Then he asked if perhaps I could call the bookstore in the mall to see if THEY had it. Then I re-informed him the only place I can find it is on Netflix. And then I informed him that the local bookstore does not sell DVDs. Then he informed ME that I didn't know what I was talking about.

SIGH.

Believe it or not, the DVD does exist. It came out in 1999. Can't BELIEVE I missed that one.

Also pestering me is a teenaged boy sitting on the computer seven feet away from my desk. He looks something up. Then he asks me if we have it. I look it up. I tell him yes, but it's out. He says, Oh yeah, I see that it's out. Repeat the last five sentences about 27 times.

sigh.

Lastly, this evening's patrons are systematically pulling every book they can off the shelves and placing/throwing/tossing them on the floor. I spent three hours pulling all the books forward and tightening the shelves last night. Three hours of my life that I can never get back.

SIGH.
