To quote the Pace Picante ads: "Get a rope"
Just posting a short note on further library stupidity while @ lunch (Sonic's Southwestern grilled chicken salad is amazing.... even with the fat free Italian dressing).
Yesterday, some lady came into the branch I was working all in a tizzy 'cause her daughter ruined the ending of Harry Potter and the Revenge of the Sith..... errrrr... Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. She blurted out "I can't believe she told me <censored> killed <censored> and <censored> was the Half Blood Prince!!"
People froze. Jaws dropped. Eyes glared. And she was completely oblivious to what she had done and shortly there-after stormed back out. At least five people's plans were ruined at that moment.
I was torn between glee and ire. Not for myself, mind you. I had already read the last chapter of the book just to confirm my suspicions as to who dies and who does the Prince was (I'm 1 for 2 and that's all I'm sayin').
I've finally decided on ire as she was so dense she didn't realize what she had done and I abhore ignorance. Or, even worse, she decided to ruin everyone else's good time becasuse hers had been. That's worse.
Sure..... go ahead and take someone down a peg or two..... I'm all for that, as long as they're deserving. But not the innocent bystanders. that's just wrong.
