Singularity
A recent study at a local school library yields surprising results: librarian is actually stuck in a time/space vortex while inside the library.
While her complaints about the days "dragging by" and moving "soooo slowly" fell mostly unheard or ignored by co-workers and loved ones, she was proven quite right when scientists recently discovered that her library resides directly atop an ancient singularity site. This site explains the dichotomy between the days that seem abnormally long and the fact that is already Thanksgiving.
According to one scientist, the asbestos in the walls and floor act as a superconductor for the vortex. When asked to explain, he stated: "One hour in that library is actually equivalent to a normal work day for most people."
When asked how she felt about this new development, NPW made this statement: "I knew something strange was going on around here, but noooobody would listen to the librarian! Now it's already Thanksgiving, but it's going to feel like another hundred years till we get to Christmas. Geez."

Does that also explain the uncanny fact that EVERYTIME I step foot into a library I immediately have to go to the bathroom. hmmm....
Am I the only one who this happens to?

Being a librarian is pretty awesome. Maybe not so much this week... or last week. Or the one before that. But otherwise, yes, pretty awesome.

Meg- That only used to happen to me in the Pennywise room at Brandeis. I think it was a "fight or flee" type of reaction. Oh, how much fun was ILL?
K-I have about 50 microfilm players in my AV room but no microfilm. No joke.
