Carbo-loading

We're doing inventory in the library this week. For those of you unfamiliar with the adventure that library inventory is, we have to read off a shelf list and check that each and every book is present and accounted for and in its correct position. If anything is missing, we have to scour the library to find it. We don't have that big of a library, but inventory takes days. Days! It's one of those things that's not hard, but it's tedious and monotonous, and you find yourself daydreaming about fire a lot, that's all I'm saying. I wish we were one of those rich, Seattle libraries that has robots to do inventory for them, but, alas, we are not that rich or techno-forward. The good thing here is that our bosses tend to feel sorry for us when we're doing inventory, so they bring in bagels and pizza. If only someone would bring in some wine, too....
