1) That being asked for money by a grown woman dressed as a fairy, carrying a large bucket simply labelled "charity", is unlikely to induce me to part with my hard-earned cash.
2) That it takes a nano-second to drop a pine-nut into a computer keyboard and a full ten minutes to extract it using an opened-up paper-clip and a blob of Blu-T@c.
3) That wearing a full-skirted frock on a deceptively breezy day is guaranteed to reveal your nether-garments to the paramedics who are taking their tea break in the ambulance bay.
4) That it is possible to walk around the whole day with a pen stuck in your hair and no-one will say a word, so you only discover it when you get home.
5) That if someone tells you at mid-day that you are "well maintained" you will spend the rest of the day feeling like some kind of National Trust landmark.

1 - a grown MAN dressed as a fairy, I might've caved.
ReplyDelete2 - ooh, Blu-T@c and paper-clip. I'm a-keepin' that tip!
3 - I bet you made their day. (I once utterly failed to realise that the cute shirt I was wearing... um... gaped extremely when I leant over the counter to pass people stuff. I wondered why all the male students were still hanging around at the back of the queue after I'd finished dealing with them...).
4 - We all do this all the time at the library. I I use two HB pencils, and if you can't find a biro, ask my colleague, her record was EIGHT. I realise I've done nothing for the image of librarians as dorky.
5 - 'Well maintained', eh? I'm envious. I tend to look 'overgrown' veering to 'derelict'.
