Librarians do have a sense of humour

[jadesfire]

It's the end of year round up at the moment and so we're not supposed to be processing any acquisitions on the computer system. I just wanted to look up something so absent-mindedly tried to get into the module only to get the following message:

You may not use Acquisitions module

... and you're very naughty for trying

*grin* there are days when I love our IT guys.

Hehehe very good :)

How's your garden btw? Has the lake subsided yet?

Brilliant :-) My knirirr has a habit of adding little messages like that to error messages he writes. His old boss didn't like them though, humourless bint.

I should have realised you were a librarian when I read 'A few quiet drinks' (there's something about Terry Pratchett that every librarian I know adores). Funnily enough, that's the only fanfic ever that I've ever passed on to my big sister - who is a librarian! I'm not ((I'm a nurse, another profession which seems to require a quirky sense of humour) but she does have me in stitches from time to time with her little stories so I'll have to tell her this one, she'd love it!

Hehe! That's great. It's nice when computer messages make you giggle instead of making you want to throw the computer out of the window!

IT with a sense of humor is the best.

My husband designs software and recently was working on something that, during testing, he had set it up return the error message "Hooter!" if it couldn't find what it was supposed to.

He forgot to take that out when it went into production. Heh. When I asked him that day why he had worked late, his face got very red.

*grin* Oh, brilliant. I love little things like that.

(In secondary school, we all had 'Little Miss' and 'Mr Men' nicknames for the yearbook. I was Little Miss Librarian. Go figure. :))
