EPISODE 013 (213): Summer Reading and Other (Potential) Dangers

Our Summer Reading program was far more stressful than most. We didn't just make kids read X number of books over X number of weeks, we also put together three hour-long programs for them each and every one of those X number of weeks, with crafts crafted, stories read aloud and snacks snacked upon. However, what made our Summer Reading even more stressful was our insistence on producing one of those hour-long Summer Reading programs on Mondays, which, as we all know from prior podcasts, are insanely chaotic all by themselves. So take the lines of screaming children, bewildered patrons, understaffed circulation desk, and general Monday Madness, during which no one has a moment to spare, and add a terrifyingly dangerous element: the patron who must not be named. Yessir, this is the one where things come to a head and yours truly gets to do the honors.

EPISODE 012 (212): Father's Day


Over the 64 episodes of this podcast, I've told many a tale about mothers of questionable quality. Today, I present a few about the dads.

Okay, so none of the dads in today's story are particularly questionable. I have to say that, cause my own dad is featured prominently and behaves admirably. But when it comes to dad stories at the "liberry" you have to pick from what's there, cause there's only a few to be found. But you do get to hear the tale of the time my dad and I nearly had to lay a beatdown on a frat guy in a Huddle House.

EPISODE 011 (211): L is for Lazy Week (Greenhorns 4)


Newbie Greenhorn Ms. S was not only an eternal newbie greenhorn, she was their queen. Never before had I met a person so willfully unwilling to burn a single calorie in the execution of her job that could have gone unburnt with her ass planted in a chair. The fact that she remained an employee as long as she did is a mystery for the ages. After hoarding away a number of the best Ms. S stories, I finally unleashed them in a weeklong torrent called L is for Lazy Week (much as Ms. S could unleash a torrent of dumbass questions just as you were trying to walk out the door for home). This is that week adapted to podcast form.

EPISODE 010 (210): Mr. Little Stupid

One of the most confounding "liberry" mysteries put before me, years even before I began blogging about my adventures, was the mystery of Mr. Little Stupid. Like his near namesake, Mr. Big Stupid, Mr. Little Stupid enjoyed using our public computers. Unlike Mr. Big Stupid, Mr. L.S. was a small, meek fellow who walked around carrying a Girl Scouts binder and wanted to read the poetry of tragic figures cut down too soon. He also had the perplexing inability to remember the most basic of internet access concepts, such as how to load internet explorer, despite repeated lessons from me personally. It was a mystery that I came to solve, and chronicle here.
