 That is all.

Blasphemy, Pony, Time Turner

I've been so busy wondering what Jesus would do, I didn't even think about where he had gone. 

(Un)Interestingly, I did always like the idea of Jesus: all that selfless, doing-as-you'd-have-done stuff seems like the ideal morality to have. I was never sure about God, though, and this has only confirmed my suspicions:

It's different, I'll give it that.

This weekend was a horsey event for me - Saturday was the Grand National, and won me absolutely nothing but at least 'my' horse started this year... Previous years = non-starter, died, pulled up...

My actual horse is a far cry from thoroughbred, which is probably a very good thing considering my luck in that department.

Cleo (not thoroughbred)

In the tea room today, I noticed with wry amusement (and tea) that someone had a time turner sticking out their pocket, a la HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban:

No idea why. I don't think it's necessary for any of the jobs here... Well, I didn't get a time turner, anyway. Maybe it's a loyalty thing.

Random Finds

Yay! It's Random Finds Friday! A day I have made up to avoid writing anything illuminating.

Have some pictures:

 

 

I also had my final induction day today (boo!) in which I learnt Cadbury's cocoa used to be marketed on the premise it is not 'starchy and indigestible' like the other brands. It also had the slogan: Pure-Soluble-Refreshing. Mm soluble.

Update

I realise I am writing less and less in this blog, just lazily posting pictures that have little or no relevance to actual librarianship or, well, life. So, for an update: I am currently undergoing induction, which has me visiting the library's other departments, such as maps (Why Not to Live in Cambridge When the Ice-caps Melt,) legal deposit, official publications, rare books (don't drop that) and music (Black Sabbath for the ukelele):

When not being induced (?), I've had Lunch Duty and got serious bananagram withdrawal.I've also begun to read a book I nickname the pet-death-book. It is an old-fashioned kids book (Thomasina) which begins with a vet putting to sleep a little old lady's little old dog, continues through him hating most of his animal patients, and peaks with him chloroforming his daughters pet cat.

Hot Classmarks and Extra-Curricular Activity

Yes that is L243:11.b.W6:3.1.D319.2... Catchy, huh? I'd like a child with that name. Or a robot. Clearly if they need that many figures they've come a long way since C-3PO.

Now, I don't want you to think I have no life outside the library because that's simply not true. I also have the walk home.

Followed up with a nice round of student-sat-precariously-on-wall:

I.L.L.

I guess this is what happens before its:
