transported

I feel like I walked into a different world here.

This morning I pushed through the library doors and found the floor strewn with empty beer cases and cartons for vodka coolers. There was a tree trimming party at work last night, and, as always, the library became the receptacle for unwanted objects. Today's new permanent additions are a round table and table lamp from where the Christmas tree is now in the lobby, a table I tried unsuccessfully to remove from the library before, and an ugly white stepstool. I've hung my coat on it. I had to do some rearranging. I put the TV/VCR/DVD and carousel near the secret door that's always locked, after trying and failing to pawn it off on one of the lawyers. It's a full time job keeping up my reputation as a neat librarian with this crowd.

Then about twenty minutes ago, this David Bowie wannabe with a red leather jacket, studded belt, and bleach blond mullet walks in and starts setting up a backdrop - we're doing a photo session in the library. One of the senior partners has just been made QC (Queen's Counsel) and so needs new photos. So basically I'm pinned into my little corner until he's all done.

***EDIT 1:17 PM***
And now I own the office water cooler. I will be the most frequently visited office in the firm now - so I should probably do something about the squeaky hinges on the library doors . . .
***END EDIT***

In other news, I'm finally done my last assignment in my course for this term. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same catharsis I usually do, because I'm terrified about my mark. I worked really hard on this one and followed all instructions to the letter. So hopefully this one works out better than all my other ones. I have never doubted my competency as an anthropologist more than in this course. I can only hope next term is an improvement.

On the plus side, aside from my work obligations, I'm free and clear to do whatever I want in the next week, before we head back home. I finished my huge project in the library (recataloguing the whole thing), so I can take it easy for the next little while and rest on my laurels a bit. Just mostly catching up on filing and paperwork at this point, so I can leave early every day for the rest of it.

Fortunately, I'll have enough to keep myself busy, running around with last-minute errands, to keep myself out of Andy's way as he studies for his exams. He has one Thursday, Friday, then Monday. He's only really studying for the Thursday one. Cross your fingers his strategy works out.
