Evenings at the Desk

So here I sit hating the printers in the library. Really it is not the printers fault, rather the computers. For some reason many of the computers have decided that they want to default to the color printer, which costs 14cents instead of the black and white printer which only costs 7cents. I love hearing the students complain about how much money they pay and why do they have to pay for printing, don't they give the library enough money. Little do they realize that all those wonderful databases they are so fond of cost over $500,000 a year, plus the cost of books, journal subscriptions and salaries. If they wouldn't be so freaking lazy and learn to do research we wouldn't have to spend so much money on the lazy mans research tools (databases).
Something else I have noticed is that the number of young women having certain anotomical parts enlarged is rather frightening. You may ask how I know these are not real...well they don't jiggle or move at all. This is easy to notice when they are wearing skin tight t-shirts in feb.
