So far I like the new universe, except that I replaced a waiter. Thought I was done with this after college.

I am, however, the only waiter with a certified Grimoire though, so that's a plus. Good for winning bar bets.

	Exactly. Been trying to think of a word that means more than anticlimactic, but I'm not coming up with anything except 'depressing' and I'm not really a depressive person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I say you're too 'fiery' or 'high-spirited' for that, my lucky goggles might get melted to the garage floor, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not the most lucky ones, maybe second most lucky ones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ugh, wielding with no eye-shield is always a treat. Right, so no comments about being hot under the collar or having a short fuse either, even though they don't seem to describe you at all. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Naah, I'm actually not that easily bothered, not sure why, lord knows I should be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	From what I've seen, over-reacting people are covering up for some other glaring flaw. Talking with unruffleables is less like walking through a shifting minefield. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not going to claim I'm perfect, but I don't try and cover my flaws anyway, no fun doing that. Librarians are a pretty level bunch though, kind of have to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Our flaws make us endearing, or that's what all those stupid chick flicks tell us. Mindless drones are a) boring and b) creepy. With the world being threatened practically weekly? Gotta be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	and C, kill it with fire. Hell, we'd be lucky if it was only weekly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	Hahaha. More like D, go after maniac making them drones and take him out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	That works too. Usually that's plan A, and plan B is 'twice as much firepower as plan A'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Simple, easy to remember, yet versatile to many situations. I like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	So far it's never let us down. Don't know what other Branches' plan B is, but so far as I know we're the only Branch that uses that one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Plan A is drop a full canteen from two stories up on the daft bird's head. It works. Doubt they stray much from that type of thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	Considering that we all get the same kind of training? I wouldn't doubt it. Pretty sure the Chicago branch uses 'napalm' in place of 'dynamite' though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Napalm and dynamite.... Sooo... big tips for the very nice waiter, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. Naah, I'm not to worried about the tips, wage is pretty good by itself. Got to see if I can find something else though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Heh. Yeah, hate to say it but waitering would make you go something something. If anything in the way of mechanic or engineer tickles, I can loan you my tools and shop space. There's enough weird projects kicking 'round. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I tend to leave that kind of thing to people who know what they're doing. I know book repair, I'd totally botch engine repair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Know? What we're doing? laughing Lord, do we have you fooled. In the words of the Man: Am I missing an eyebrow?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Haha! Fair enough, at least you know what most of the parts are called, right? And what parts stick to what other parts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-14 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	The thingy, the sonnabitch and the dipstick. If it's moving and shouldn't, use duct tape. If it should, WD40. Only never tell that to the customers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-14 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	So apparently it really isn't that different than book repair, only there we've got 'the board things', 'the stringy stuff' and 'that sticky stuff' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	steam_punk 2009-04-15 10:30 am UTC (link)
	Hell at 4:45am, probably it's all whatthehells, and I'll try to mount the coffeemaker's guts into the belt drive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2009-04-15 10:35 am UTC (link)
	I've actually learned not to do book repair anytime after 3am. Unless of course I've been unconscious the whole previous day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
