Dear Undergradutes,
Please to be borrowing more books. You returned so many of them yesterday that we don't actually have room on our shelves for them and the security tag sensitizer started to give out smoke. It's lying room only* in some sections and it took four of us forty-five minutes to finish the shelving this morning, as well as the four people who shelved for two hours last night.
While the amount you are spending on photocopying and on fines is keeping us in date stamps and chocolate, we would greatly appreciate it if you could stagger the returns in future, so that our brains don't melt on the first day of term. There isn't enough money in the fund to buy new ones.
Thank you for your attention.
*Like standing room only, except for books. We're having to lie them across the top of the shelves because there just isn't room.

They're clearly affecting you if you can no longer spell undergraduAtes ;)

Date: 2007-10-09 07:10 pm (UTC)It wasn't anything important, unsurprisingly. I just wanted to whine at someone about how come something I spent half an hour writing, and didn't even like that much gets loads of comments, and stuff I spend ages on and feel really proud of gets like four. *throws teddy out of pram*
*cough*
So, how are you? ;)

Date: 2007-10-09 02:59 pm (UTC)I'm having this problem at home. The other half and I are deadlocked--he says that if we buy more shelves, I'll just buy more books and fill *them* up too. I keep telling him, I'm going to buy the books anyway. Lack of shelf space isn't going to stop me.
There already areThere'll just be books all over the floor as well, when the doublestacking space runs out.(no subject)
