grumble grumble grumble

Argue argue argue... that is all these people ever do. You'd think patrons of a library would be... I don't know... more agreeable? But apparently not. Last night every fine was disputed:
"I've never had an overdue item in my life".
Yea, and if I had a dollar for every time I've heard that.
People argued with me over rules that have been in place since before I worked there. I had a woman "not argue" with me for ten minutes about our limit rule. She stood there and even though she argued with everything I said she kept insisting she wasn't arguing. She was mad because we limited the number of books on a subject that she could take out. Her daughter had a report to do and couldn't understand that there might be some other person who might need books on that subject.
Woman: "I've been coming to the library for 20 years and had never seen that rule or you for that matter any of the times I've been here."
Me: "Well I'm sorry ma'am but that rule has been like that since I started here and I've been working here for eleven years. Unfortunately there is no one else here tonight who has worked here as long as I have to back me up on this."
She also wouldn't hear that her daughter could use other sources for her report like the internet. She swore that she would get a lower grade if she used the internet. Myself and another employee said that we had both been honor roll students in high school and on the dean's list in college and we both used internet sources. Somewhere along this non-argument argument this women asked me what exactly my degree was in and when I told her I graduated with a degree in 3d design and computer animation with a 3.85 GPA, she seemed to get quiet.
Why do people always have to argue?

Name Game

Due to the fact that I was accosted for a name for my griffon this morning I'm here to let everyone know that his name is Fizgig. The name was taken from the movie "The Dark Crystal". Now that that is out of the way...

I went to the Celtic Classic this weekend. Twice. Once with the boy on Saturday night and the second time was Sunday for most of the evening with some friends. Unfortunately I had hoped to spend a very quiet day with the boy, but the call came in for him to make some money and who am I to say no to that. Especially considering that I told the boy that this year he had to buy me a birthday gift.

Movies watched:

Longest Yard - I'm not an Adam Sandlar fan, but I did enjoy this movie. It probably had more to do with all the wrestlers that were in it.

The Muppets Wizard of Oz - Who doesn't love the muppets?? However, not only do I miss the sound of Jim Henson's voice as Kermit but now it seems that Frank Oz is no longer the voice of Miss Piggy or Fozzy.

Sleep and Movies

I wish I could say my life has been terribly exciting and adventurous these past few weeks and that is why I have not been blogging. Unfortunately that is not the case. ::::said in a whiny voice:::: "I just don't feel like it." So to quickly get everyone all caught up in what I've been doing these past few weeks.

The boy and I went off roading two weekends ago. I was able to get some awesome footage of the boy jumping my tracker. However due to camera malfunctions I lost most of the pictures and video. I'm also out one memory card for my camera. I can't get the stupid thing to read or take pictures anymore.

This past weekend the boy and I went up to his parent's cabin in the woods. There is something about going up there that makes a person extremely lazy. All the boy and I did was sleep. We went to bed around 10 pm and woke up around 10 am. Then we were so tired from all of our sleeping, we decided to take a two hour nap around 2pm. At least he got his truck washed; I on the other hand, accomplished nothing.

As for the rest of our time, we normally spend it hanging out with some friends and watching movies. Movies we've watched:

Sin City - Very good. Recommended to anyone who likes any Quinton Tarantino movies.

Sahara - Another good action flic with the gorgeous Matthew McConaughey.

Cat Woman - Decent fun. Nothing to take seriously though.

Cellular - Good suspense film, with that cool guy from The Transporter.

My New Pet

This is a picture of my new pet griffon. He followed me home from the renaissance festival on Sunday and I decided to keep him. He hasn't told me his name yet, so I'm just being patient.

I had a really good weekend. I went to the fair on Friday, saw Tim McGraw in concert at the fair on Saturday, went shopping with friends on Sunday and went to the renaissance fest on Sunday.

The boy and I were invited to the ren fair by some friends. I had never been to one and I really wanted to go. It was not something the boy wanted to do, but he went because I wanted to go. Amazingly he had a really good time. I think he was surprised too because he kept saying on the ride home "I had fun today". I was really into it, I got dressed up. Unfortunately, even though I own a lot of renaissance type clothing, most of the clothes are made of velvet and are quite warm. I ended up buying a cheap peasant shirt to change into because I was so hot. Then I bought my furry friend. So I ended up spending a lot of money that I don't have.
