This reminded me of something suitably random: when I was in the dentist's waiting room, I was the only person sitting in there, with blazing sunlight pouring through the windows. There were about eight incredibly bright lights turned on, completely needlessly. I found where the switch was, and turned them all off. Then I felt a bit naughty for interfering with how they run their office, but, seriously! Why leave lights on in the day time? :?

^That would be awful to get locked in somewhere.

So many people are leaving/have left. :?

Nearly got locked in the library earlier. I was reading and the lights went off, but there are plenty of windows and it's bright and sunny outside so I thought nothing of it. Then about 10 minutes later I heard a woman say "We've still got one!" and I lifted my head from what I was reading and she told me I was lucky they didn't lock me in (I forgot the library closes at 5pm on Saturdays - It usually closes at 6pm). She then asked me if I had figured it was closing when they turned the lights off, but I told them I didn't make the link as I thought they just turned them off as it was sunny and they didn't need to be on anyway. :lol:

Also, I got up at 1pm today! :o

I'll make up for it by getting up at about 7am tomorrow, and on Monday I plan to get up at 4.45am, so I can walk to work and open up the shop. Usually people who open the shop get there for about 7.15, but because I'm so slow with everything I plan to arrive at 6am. I was given my own set of keys the other day so I can let myself in, and I can take my time and get everything done thoroughly and properly without the stress of a short time limit. If I get it all done early, I'll make myself a couple of coffees and perhaps read a book for a bit. I'll also have my Ipod with me while I get everything done so I won't get bored. I won't get paid for going in any earlier, but I don't mind so much because I just want as stress free a morning as possible, and if I get all the work done out of hours, then I won't have to work as much during the time I do get paid, so it all works out.


ever read the book "help i'm trapped in the liberry" it is misspelled in the title?

Indeed. I think I'd do the same and also feel the same as you too. Like, a bit awkward about doing so, and I'd expect to be told to leave them alone by a member of staff, but I's still do it as it's silly to leave lights on like that during the day.

I must admit though I do switch my lamp on in my bedroom during the day, and leave my curtains closed. I don't like the look of natural light in my room. It's too 'white' and kinda makes me go all squinty.

No. Haven't heard of it. What's it about? (Who knows? - maybe the story actually has nothing to do with the title....)

True, but I can think of worse places to get locked in than a library.

The email notifications have failed for nearly 20 hours. I wonder what could be the problem.

Indeed.

A freezer...a cupboard...at least in a library you aren't going to run out of air.

[Sarcastic interjection, exempli gratia, "Oh great."]

Now I cannot get rid of the mental image of me being silly.
