Things:

- I have the best behind-the-desk snack today. I stopped at the grocery store before lunch and availed myself of their bulk section to buy honey roasted peanuts and sunflower seeds and dried cranberries and blueberries and raisins. It is awesome and cost maybe two dollars because I didn't buy a lot of anything. I am totally happy with it.

- My manager informed me this morning that now we are actually being required to wear our nametags. Grr. I hate nametags. However, my manager totally agrees with me and has said that I can wear it on the hem of my shirt or my sleeve or something as long as I technically have it on. So that's something.

- Along with all the superhero comics, I have started rereading Transmetropolitan. Which is still awesome and also appropriate, considering how much Mitt Romney reminds me of the Smiler. (I am pretty sure that Paul Ryan wasn't grown in a vat but I suppose you never know.)

- Not only do I have the Bainbridge horror movie fest to look forward to, but my coworker has just informed me that the little theater in Kingston is going to be showing Rocky Horror the weekend before Halloween. I probably won't be doing anything but watching my own movies on the actual day - Wednesday is a stupid day for Halloween - but it looks like the weekend will be pretty awesome.

- It is cool enough that I am comfortable wearing knee socks and long sleeves. Hurrah.

So, we have this shelf of books that were donations and that our Friends of the Library books sells. It has a box for the money and a list of prices and a really big sign that says Books For Sale in bright red letters.

A patron just walked over to the desk, pointed to that shelf, and said, "Are those books for sale?"

...

I don't know why it still surprises me that people just don't read signs, but it does. Every single time.
