My Job at the Library

When people find out that I work at the library here on campus, they usually snicker. Like working here would be so boring. And, sometimes it is. Sometimes any job can be boring. I mean, sure, lots of other jobs get some rocking perks like free food or 50% off merchandise...like clothes. And the perks that come with working at the library are limited (seriously, who thinks that checking out a book without the completely mandatory student ID card is a perk?) But in all honesty, I love working here. It's the best. And I will tell you why:
  • I know what goes where, which comes in handy when I've gotta write 10 page research papers.
  • I can change due dates (oooooh, aaaahhhh), for myself and others.
  • I get to be the sexy librarian.
  • I often get paid for doing homework, sniffing markers (actually, not that enjoyable) and daydreaming.
  • I get to say to attractive guys, "I can check you out."
  • I get to chat with the locals (which might be synonymous with crazies...like the guy who swears that Planet of the Apes (the pre-Mark Wahlberg stuff) will be the most historically accurate film sometime in the near future).
  • I get the best movie/book reviews.
  • I know where all of the best places to make out are (not that I've been able to use this very helpful resource...yet...)
There are tons of other reasons why my job is the bomb. But the best reason I can think of is portrayed most effectively through this lovely clip:



Oh man, Arthur is still rocking it.

It is definitely one of my goals to remake this awesome music video.

Or at least sing the song to some unwanting patron.

Moral of the story: Go to the library. More specifically, come to my library. That way, I can hook you up with the awesomeness.

Or, more likely, I'm bored and want a visitor who doesn't spend 10 minutes telling me that the Mark Wahlberg version sucks.

Every time I to the library I sing this song.
I'm not kidding.

You definitely are the sexy librarian, Kim.

WHO'S DEWEY!?

ah, man. I love D.W. I'm so happy there's a new season soon.

Congrats on being a sexy librarian! I'm super jealous. I've always wanted to work in a library...

I agree with Alecia! I've always wanted to work in a library! That's super sweet Kim. :)

And Arthur is my favorite. Ever.

You are so sexy, Kim. But mostly because of your super muffin top goodness. You know how I love those lovehandles. Also, I was looking through some of my pictures and saw the ones we labeled as "our new life." It brought many a tear to my eye.

Also, I love the library and Arthur and hate that you get paid to do homework because it is not fair.

I will see you in a few weeks, hot lips.

I love that Arthur clip! Also ANYTHING to do with Arthur in general, but you know...

That's awesome that you get to work at the library. There aren't too many perks that come with freakishly-early custodial jobs, except that now I know how to un-jam all the paper towel dispensers on campus. (*victory dance*)

If I came to your library, I fear I would follow you around singing "Madam Libraaaaaaaaaaaa-rian!"

What?!? I didn't comment on this post! I swear I read it forever ago!

I just wanted to say that I don't blame you for loving working at the library. My job at the library was my very favorite job ever. including motherhood. true story.
