yesterday was a fairly quiet day in libraryland. we did have a visit from *mr. lithium. once upon a time when i worked at the medical center library, when ben taub hospital would release patients (i.e. their insurance ran out) we would see an influx of stranger characters. our mr. lithium at the med center library moved in slow motion, talked in slow motion and was just in a whole 'nother world. our new *mr. lithium @ fpl is like that. walks and talks slow, carries bit and pieces of paper. he doesn't seem to like me, as i had to help out in reference last week. i couldn't help him with what he needed so he avoids me. *shrug* oh well.
since we are talking about libraryland. i'll tell you a few more stories from my med center library days. we once had a lady who built a nest in the public ladies restroom. literally. she inhabited one of the stalls. and she used probably hundreds of rolls of toilet paper and built a nest in there. she thought she was a bird.
we also had a guy who was flashing women. he had his act down pat. he would be wearing shorts and carrying a gym bag. he would find some girl or lady studying alone in a corner or secluded place. he would get her attention, wangle and show off his junk, and then flee. by the time the poor thing made it down to the first floor to tell us what she had just experienced, we were looking for a man wearing x colored shorts and a t-shirt, the perv would have changed into regular clothes and walked out of the library unnoticed. he was eventually caught. chased and cold-cocked by one of our maintenance workers. he had a knife on him and did try to slash *gerald. however gerald was about 6'5" and weighed at least 250 or so. one punch and the perv was down for the count. he had the unfortunate name of mr. cheeks. i shit you not!!! library workers can be very twisted. at halloween of that year we cut masks made from his pd artist rendering sketch and wore them. yes. twisted. i think it's called gallows humor.
*signifies that a name has been changed for various and sundry reasons
