Sad little subversive things you do at work

In My Humble Opinion

Way back in 1990 or so, my University was upgrading its branch library that my roommate and I worked in from crappy card catalogs to barcodes and greenscreen computers.

It was our job to gradually scan in newer books as they arrived, to flesh out the new database. Barcode readers being what they were then, sometimes one just wouldn’t scan and you’d have to key everything in by hand.

Thusly did each of our D&D characters become published authors, with fully fleshed out database fields and properly indexed Dewey and LOC numbers.

“Lithe Forest Frolicking” and “Wenches and Beer: The Untold Story” lasted about 5 years in the new catalog system :slight_smile:

At my work, our boss’s wife has amassed quite a large collection of Beanie Babies on the front display. On a disturbingly regular basis, I rearrange them into full-scale Beanie Baby orgies. Note that this display is in full view of the public, and this is a place frequented by families with young, innocent children.

That would explain some of the cheques I get. Seriously, people, it’s ** 2008** now. Pass it on.

ignis, I do that in Toys 'r Us. The stuffed toys are very, very naughty sometimes. :smiley:
