Ok. I'm avoiding everything by playing with microfilm today.

Although, all of the overdue library books are just sitting on my desk for the whole world to see and know that I fucked up. Ugh.

No one will know or think that. But you do, and that's the issue at hand. Forget everyone else, they are irrelevant...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

vw, you need to remember that the whole world doesn't care about library books (unless you have rogue librarians stalking the hall), and unless I'm missing something--how can they tell they're overdue?

'Cause they're interlibrary loans and have the due date in VERY BIG FONT on the front.
Apparently Sabrina took them out of the desk drawer last week, because she noticed that they were all overdue, and seems she told several people to make sure I'd take care of it.

If overdue books are the worst thing that people think about you, you're doing okay. I wish I could say that about myself.
Like Nora said -- it's something you care about. Don't worry about projecting that onto everyone else.

I just view overdue library books as an opportunity to donate to the library.

ita, how did the krav people react to your PT's call?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I work at a libray. We only care about overdue books if a) you refuse to pay the fine b) lots of people are waiting for them.

One of them is microfiche. As soon as we get a copy card, I'm gonna go print that out. Then, tomorrow I'll meet with the leads on the project and see what needs to be copied. I'll be in longer tomorrow, so I'll be able to sit at the copy machine and take care of what we need.
These little things are how I know I'm really not doing well. I'd been much better about dealing with this kind of stuff. I'll get better again, but cleaning up the mess is always a challenge when you're not at top speed.
