Last week Monday we went to the library, it’s a very small library, maybe 1000 sq. feet. See? Very, very, small. Anyhow, we were there for the Monday night pajama story time (for Zoe) and I happened to have a couple audio books being held for me. I checked out the audio books, Zoe went to story time, and then we came home. Somewhere around 10 p.m. I checked my receipt that says what books I checked out and when they were due, and low and behold, it seems that I checked out Consumer Report 2007.
First off, I didn’t.
And second, do I really look like someone who would check out Consumer Report?
(I don’t)
The next day I called the librarian and told her about it, and she said she fully remembers that I did NOT check it out, but there is no explanation as to why it’s on my receipt, and futhermore, on my library card record.
Okay, I have to be honest here, this is bugging me to no end. I mean, it’s really REALLY bugging me. The librarian is all, “oh, don’t worry about it, I wrote a little note and taped it to the desk so everyone knows.” And outwardly I’m all, “did you figure out that Consumer Report thing yet?” but inside my head I’m all, “Look, I don’t have the stupid magazine, and I need to have you remove it from my library card record!!! WHY CAN’T YOU JUST PRESS THE DELETE BUTTON??? FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD, JUST PRESS THE STINKING DELETE BUTTON!!!!”
That stupid magazine is due back today, and I don’t have it, and the librarian says not to worry because she wrote a note and taped it to her desk, but someone out there has Consumer Report 2007 and God only knows what they are doing with it, how long they plan on reading it!
Do you think that they know that I might break out in hives if they don’t bring it back soon??? Do they? Huh?
HIVES!!!
Have you seen it?
Do you have it?
