yee.

Some observations from working in the Library:
  1. Art History Grad Students follow some sort of unwritten law that states that all AHGS's must own an Apple/ Mac Computer. MacBook Pros and MacBooks are preferable, but PowerBook G4's (12" and 17") and iBooks are acceptable. Outliers include Lenovo Notebooks.
  2. "Emotionally Disturbed" "Mentally Retarded", etc. people like the public library.
  3. Apparently, I am supposed to use all 5 of my senses to rove the library- sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch. What's wrong with this picture? So... I'm supposed to LICK something?
  4. There are 35 computers in this room alone (I estimate 160 computers total), and only 3 are in use. The others are using valuable energy as they remain unused. And the monitors are on 24 hrs a day. The University is NOT green.
  5. The President of Chile is here in Berkeley looking for green options. She shoulda gone to Iowa.
  6. For a clean keyboard, avoid the back and front of the computer rooms, and carry your own disinfectant wipes.
Other life lessons:
  • Don't order the 4- cheese ravioli with Parmesan cheese sauce if you're lactose intolerant.
  • no pesto for tree- nut allergies
  • people steal what's not chained down- including microwaves!
  • don't leave your mango nectar in the public refrigerator. Someone will drink it. (*cough cough* idiots!)
  • Don't mess with me. :)
