"Must make content with his fortunes fit..."

When I was shelving at the liberry to-day, I was in the New Fiction section and a woman came up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, and informed me that she was having a private conversation with a potential board member of some organisation and that I was to go away and shelve there later when she had finished.

I nearly cried. *wibbles* Am so pathetic.

But--I was just sort of shocked, because I am a teenage child hello! I am almost by definition self-absorbed! Did she imagine for one moment I even realised she was there? Actually, I was thinking about my lack of a love life and alternately plotting for a Phanfic.

*sighs lightly* But that's all one. I read children's books until she was gone and then I went and shelved the New Fiction.

A confidential conversation in an odd location? You should have stayed! Maybe you could find out where they were going to hide some ransom money in a plain, unmarked package!

So YOU WORK AT A LIBRARY?!! *dies* It's crazy, but there's a phenomenon among Peter Lorre fandom where like 99% of the fans are either some form of librarian or are related to one. (My mom's a librarian, and lots of people on the peterlorre yahoo group are, including the webmistress of www.plorre.com.) I suppose Peter is just good at attracting intelligent, literate, creative ladies with high standards. ;)

I should have! But I was so shocked, I believe, at getting told off. ^^

I DO! That's so bizarre. Heehee. But I definitely like the intelligent, literate, creative ladies with high standards line of reasoning. :)
