Summertime Computer Blues

I've decided I'm really ready for summer to be over. Here's why:

1. The children go back to school and there is some level of composed calm at the library.
2. I miss seeing my friends on a frequent basis.
   
3. My empty house is creeping me out beyond belief. Can people move in yet?
4. I'll be able to get breaks at work again instead of this conduct-a-program-then-immediately-start-reporting nonsense.
5. It will be time to stop delaying the inevitable and bring my computer down to the Geek Squad (or something like it) to fix it if they can. If not, I can sweep up one of those fancy back to school deals on a new computer.
   

Which brings me to this post's title. I am thoroughly missing having access to the Internet outside of work. Yeah, I can check my emails and whatnot, but that's not all I like to do. I like being able to boot up the computer and ponder a quick little blog post for your delight and rapture (see also: the fact that I've only composed about 3 posts this summer). I like being able to check Facebook and not worry if a supervisor is right around the corner. What's weird is, I miss Facebook applications. Who is obsessed with Facebook enough that they're sad they can't look through electronic buttons on Flair? For reals here people, my computer needs to get taken care of seven yesterdays ago.

Ri-dog-diculous

Please add the following to things I never thought I'd say in the library:

"I'm sorry, you can't have that dog in here."
"But he's sleeping."
"Yeah, but you can't have a dog in the library. You have to go outside."
---short while later---
"The dog cannot be in the library. I've already told you this."
"But... he's sleeping in my shirt. He's not doing anything."
"Fine. But if he goes to the bathroom of any sort, you are cleaning it up."
---short while later---
(dog is out of the shirt and in the stacks)
"Seriously, you need to go outside...but first I have to pet the dog."
---short while later---
(another girl walking around with the dog)
"You can't walk around the stacks with a dog" says another librarian, finally succeeding in kicking out the kids with the dog.

I'm a bad librarian, aren't I?
