Dave here, ready for another late shift, and a stop off at the Tradies on the way home. I had four copies of my contract come to me today, Personnel (now known as Human Resources in a grand bit to label everything with weirdo titles) kept making mistakes on the contracts, wrong Library, end date and hours, position number, I'm surprised they got my name right! End of lunch break, gotta go to the desk. Speak to you from there........

Hi again, I'm on the desk,and ready to Rock. I got a stuffed monkey helpin me out. (Even though he ain't as good as The Civic Piggy. Megsie!!!!! Send my piggy back to me)

Song Of The Day
My Piggy lies over the ocean,

Quote of The Day
"What? Noooo!" - Impersonation by Megsie
Hi all! Just got in early to work, so I thought I'd have a quick cuppa coffee and blog session. Sitting here listening to Roy Orbison's Ultimate Collection. That's gonna be my new returns room music for a while.....Anyone who has the name Roy has gotta be good! (Hiya Grand-Dad!)

I'm better now. Gotta hold it together for two more days then I get a day off. Like those idiots who come here deserve us. Just wait until we start charging them to borrow stuff! Heh Heh heh! That'll get 'em all goin'!

I wanna Guiness!

Gonna have a few pints before going home tonight. It won't affect me at all, cause I'm going to use Hypertime! (I'm sure DC comics invented Hypertime to cover my drinking). I'm sure there are some people out there with no idea of what hypertime is. Go buy the Paperback copy of Kingdom Come and The Kingdom. Go on! It's just downstairs from where you work.
Darn librarians, Never have good taste in reading material..........

Quote of the Day
"I have music taste more in synch with Janis than anyone else here? Who'd have thought?"
Y2Dave. (BTW Janis has great taste in music!)

Y2Dave (More cryptic than ever)
I'm stressed, Miss X is stressed, and all the internet junkies can go get stuffed!

I wonder what we did in past lives to have to put up with this shit!

F**king hippies.......

Friday, September 26, 2003

I'm still here at the Dickson Fun Factory! Got Janis a bit worried when I told the staff that they should call me Dave, not David! Janis changed the roster and everything! Didn't think she'd take that so seriously.

I can't mention the swimming story, so I won't.

I watched Spider-Man last night. That's gotta be the 2nd best superhero movie ever made (not counting david hasslehoff in Nick Fury:Agent of Shield). Just pipped at the post by Superman:The Movie. Now if they had Lex Luthor in Spider-Man instead of Norman Osborn.......as long as Otis came too, then that would be an Oscar winning movie!

Quote Of The Day
Hello new west coast, my west coast. Luthorville, Costa del Lex, Lexville, Otisburg.....

The Big news today....... Its Ken's Birthday! YAYYYYYY Ken!
So we had a work breakfast followed by a little bit of champa....shampan..... bubbly! Riitta was there, she's missing the library too much me thinks.....

Happy birfday ken, letz open the uthar bottill of plonk! I'll hafta have a few points a Guinness tonoite for you!

That alcohol has helped us deal with the customers today. Except the heavy-duty freaks. Some trademan guy came in to set up the new internet PC and didn't kniow why he was here. And we didn't know what he had to do. Great communication in this service.....

Quote of the Day
I miss the piggy...... The monkey can't dance........

Yay! Dave just got the Yay For The Day for finding a book! Just goes to show what 3 years at Uni can do for ya! Dave the King at finding books and photocopy repairs!

Y2Dave (It helps if you turn the copier ON, sir)

Quote Of The Day
(The Setup: Dave was keeping a Slim Dusty at the desk, so he could listen to it during his return shift)
Cass: What's with this Slim Dusty CD? What's the problem?
Janis: Ohh. He's dead?

Guess you had to have been there.......

Just had Granger and his Dr Who video come in. Turns out he's seen it. Kept saying "Civic said yes" (???) So Civic, please STOP SAYING YES! You are just causing problems. I won't even get into Julie and the blue pen story. Tell you all at drinks tomorrow. Poor Julie, she's been a freak magnet lately. I think she'll hulk out at any minute. Maybe she needs the relaxing atmosphere generated by the Civic Piggy.

(sob) I miss the piggy too...

Ahh. Gotta cuppa coffee, got to work early, and still got not much to write. Gonna try and save a bit of cash, and whenever I get the chance for a few days off, go travelling. (Probably only to Sydney and Newcastle to see some friends who I ain't seen for yonks). Saw Jess yesterday, hafta get her to come to drinks night this week if she feels better.(She had the chronic Lurgi)

Well that was boring, Do you all need a joke?

Q:What did the Zen Master say to the hot-dog vendor?
A: One (with everything)!
Think about it, you'll get it........

Man I got really depressed yesterday, and I know you Dave-fans don't like soul-searching blogs, but I did some soul-searching yesterday. Discussed problems with my Reeboks, cause you see, my shoes understand. They have soles!

Lift up joke to see bottom of the barrel

It's raining Cats and dogs at the moment, (I just stepped in a poodle). I ain't looking forward to going home in this. Hafta stop off at Civic to see Megsie and check out the new comics at Impact.

I never felt more like punching a customer in the face! Some ol bat tried to return items at the loans desk. Told her to use the return chutes. "But that'll crack the spines" - Yeah but its the library rules. "Oh it is not. You just made that up so you don't have to work" F**king old bag...... I didn't realise I was put on this Earth to serve your every whim. Just hurry up and die......

(Man I sound like the Panda)

Y2Dave (stressed and fuming)

On a lighter note.

Dave's still stuck in the returns room! At least I got my CD player in here with me, even though the CD collection here is crap.
Returns CD of The day
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

I'm looking forward to going back to Civic, although I ain't looking forward to the sudden drop in pay. (Hopefully I should snaffle a permanent position soon). I am gonna miss the close proximity of the library and the Tradies though. Nice place to wait for a bus, then miss it, have a few more while waiting for the next bus......oh bugggar I've missed tha neckst wun. Have a few more, shoot ive been here all knight, gotta go to work..... Hi Everybody!!!!!

Legal Note: Dramitisation. May never have happened

Whew! Just took a walk down a few blocks to get Floriade posters for the library. Don't even know why I did that, I HATE Floriade. Must be cause I'm so professional. Thank God I ain't workin late tonight. I'm knackered!

I seem to be becoming Mr Technical Fixit Dude with our system. My method is simple. Pretend to think about the problem, scratch my head alot, say things like "hmmm" and "If I do this, then....."., and then Ring someone who probably does know (like the Panda, who probably gets all his knowledge from the Civic Piggy). Thanks for your help today Panda! (By the way, it IS impossible to order the blocks on that screen).

Just in the returns area, returnin' and listening to Diana Krall in Paris. (soothing!) Found it in the recent returns. Its gotta be better than the radio station we seem to always have on. (And a change from Best Ever Country Drinking Songs- Ken's favourite). Been editing this entry for a while. Intact keep kicking me off terminals.

Quote Of The Day
What's the Library's web address? - Elena doing AskNow!

Silly Children
Just had a family in borrowing Fleming's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Told them it was the best Bond book, and the best Bond film cause the guy who played Bond lives in Queanbeyan. The little boy then said "Does Sean Connery live in Queanbeyan?" Silly child..... Sean Connery lives on the moon with Mr Squiggle. Everybody knows that!

Quote Of The Day
"Do you have an internet at home? Doh! What a stupid F##king question" - Jess (demonstrating a rhetorical question to Alicia)


time passes, Dave works.... Stress level rises.....


Had to work yesterday, some idiot came in telling me to ring ACTION because he left some CD's on the bus. Like its my job, ring them yourself. He didn't give me his name as "oh I told you my name months ago at Civic" Idiot......

I have had more idiots than a Frank Spencer family gathering today! Some old woman telling me recipies for boiled sweets, some other guy who started talking to people in the queue when I was explaining stuff. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THEN DON'T FRICKIN' ASK!!!!!

Y2Dave (Who just wants sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their head)

RIP Warren Zevon.

Monday, September 08, 2003

Dave is in the middle of a looonnnng late shift. Just spent an hour and a half looking up books for some old woman. She had a list of recently published stuff and didn't know why they weren't in Large print and Audio. They were only printed last month......

Day off tomorrow. Gonna read Andy Kaufman's bio.

Y2Dave (who would never Dare be goofin' on Elvis)
Woo an exciting morning! Full of action, drama and bad puns. When I was walking to work this morning, I cut through the "Forest" in Curtin, and feel a THUNK! on me 'ead. Bloody magpie swoopin' me. Feathered freak did it twice. When I got to the bus stop, an old lady freaked cause she saw blood running down my face. (When I got to Civic, Irena had the same reaction. Bless her! :) ) I was a bit disappointed, when I get "juicing" I want to get the full Gordon Solie crimson mask on. (How about that! Two wrestling terms in one sentence)

So that's today. On Saturday I went to the tradies after work with Canny, Drew and Tammy. Had a few, then had some more...........

Worked Sunday with a hangover.

Which brings us up to date. And now

Yay! Blogger's back up. Just had drew & tammy visit my lie-berry. Also had some idiot giving a lecture on democracy to some woman after he had pushed in front of her in the queue. He's the guy with the child on XTC. Idiot! Ive been stuck on these desks for ages..... I wanna hide in the returns room with my radio.

Lyric Of The Day
"Hey Mrs Postletwaite, will you feed my whippet?
Daylight come and we're still down t' pit!" - Northern Calypso , Hale & Pace


Got to work today and found out there's only going to be four staff all day. Arrrrrrgggghhhh! We need at least 5! Hopefully it'll rain and everyone will stay home.

Anyway, I read a book last night (The Walrus Was Paul) detailing all the clues that The Beatles had in their lyrics and album covers to prove that Paul McCartney is really dead. Really in-depth stuff it was too. So the McCartney who wrote Magneto and Titanium Man for Wings wasn't the real deal? Still a good little song though even if it is little known.

Song Of The Day
Obviously, it's Magneto And Titanium Man from Wings Across America
(any song that mentions Magneto, Titanium Man and The Crimson Dynamo has got to be good! :) )

And now it's back to work for Y2Dave

Friday, September 05, 2003

Yay! Just spent half an hour on the phone to Intact to fix my e-mail, and she did it! Well done Intact! Not able to remember what I was gonna write here now, but lets have a ........
Song Of The Day
"Blue Moon of Kentucky" - Elvis Presley

Elvis, in my opinion is the only singer who was allowed to record covers of songs, his turned out better than the originals. Look at Blue Suede Shoes and Blue Moon of Kentucky. They are so superior that most people think they ARE the original.

End of Sermon

Also a quick HI to the panda if he's reading. Wish Blog had a comment thingy, but neh, we can do without it.

Y2Dave (Shining on, though the world has gone and left me blue)
Got to work this morning early, so I can check my mail, only to find I couldn't log on to Outlook today. Bugger it! Gotta get on to Intact AGAIN! Damn computers.....
Trying to write this at the desk and getting interupted all the time. Here comes another one.... Been typing this for 13 minutes now. Gonna have a Halloween-fest soon and watch 'em all back to back. That'll fill me in till 30th October. (The day Freddy vs Jason arrives in Australian cinemas)

(only bought it to complete the set) Still stuck at Dickson, and I keep hearing things like, "How can we get dave to stay" "Pity you have to go back" etc. But I gotta go back to look after my little mates at Civic. (And to keep the Panda away from the drinks cabinet).

Song of The Day
