Some are dedicated followers of fashion. I'm a dedicated follower of THE LIBRARY. Just got back from there a moment ago. I order things through CLEVNET, "A consortium of 31 library systems across 9 counties in Northeast Ohio", and they arrive at the Hudson Library. When something is ready to pick up they call me and leave an automated message, "Hey Joe, what the fuck is up? We got some shit you ordered. Come and pick it up in seven days or else!" So, I usually pick it up ASAP. The thing is.. they don't say WHAT is ready to pick up. I'd have to look online for that and I like being surprised. So I went tonight not knowing if it's one, two, three, or more things. And honestly.. I usually forget what I ordered till I go and pick it up. When I got there I grabbed a Randy Newman album and asked the nice old librarian if I could check out this CD and whatever I have to pick up. She brings back two movies: "Pixar Short Films Volume 1" and "The Seven Year Itch". "Sweet, sweet" I think "I just ordered these. They came fast." And then she says I have one more but she's not quittttee sure where it is. In my head "Haha Oh man..I wonder if it's that foreign porno that I ordered a while ago." There's always a few perverse things on my ordered list. She goes in the back for a while- comes out- can't find it. I say it's no big deal "I'll pick it up later this week". Instead she keeps trying to find it (meanwhile the line is growing..you know monday nights and all)- a young man librarian sees that she needs help. He goes grabs it and brings it to check out. OH, OF COURSE IT'S THE ORGASM ANSWER GUIDE. Ha, ha, ha I love my job.
