I totally do not think you are responsible and the student sounds very dumb, but this:
because that makes us look bad and upsets the students who pay heaps of money to go here.
seems like it could easily turn into, "but it's totally your fault because you knew there was a thief and you didn't warn us!" which is still pretty damn flimsy.
I am so bored, but I can't leave work for another hour and ten minutes.
On the plus side, the first year students seem to have gotten the message from orientation because they've been checking out the laptop locks from the Circ desk like crazy.
We've changed some of the signs to read "Theft Alert!" but you know who reads signs? Nobody!
So, I expect Mr or Miss thief to come back tomorrow and see what else is lying around.
At least
someone
can be expected to behave sensibly.
I start my class tomorrow! I'd planned on reading the first two chapters this weekend, instead I mainlined Smallville fic. Seriously, one minute it wasn't even 8 pm on Saturday, the next it was 1:30 am Sunday morning and I was reading some mediocre long ass fic with bad formatting. I was squinting trying to make out the words and forgetting I could turn the style off on Firefox. I finally drug myself away but it hurt. And Sunday when I should have been going over to dad's, I was all in "just one more story, just one more paragraph, just one more link" mode and barely drug myself away for that.
ION, I have broken my personal "no b.org at school this year" rule after only four hours of being back. Well done, me!
I'm much more dedicated than Kristin. I lasted six hours and thirteen minutes. But there are so many students. You either have to turn to B.org or sit in your office mumbling "the horror, the horror" all day.

umm, don't check your LJ. I rec'd some stuff and it sounds like you have no will power. like me, so I understand.
signed, often looks up at 1AM on a school night to realize that she should have been in bed 2 hours ago.
I haven't had a chance to check lj or email yet. I'll probably look at it. One story! Just one! Because I won't be able to read any fic tomorrow. And then I'll read my chapters, they are fairly short and I've skimmed them already.
The condo story reminded me of The Wire, specifically when the guys investigate Stringer Bell, drug dealer, and McNutty says
"It's worse than we thought. He's a developer."
Someone tell me to get back to work in Vectorworks.
Get back to work in Vectorworks. Or we'll make you watch more horror movies.
