Isn't It Ironic? (Part 2)
I still haven't found my library book! What am I going to do?
To add insult to injury, today all the other books were due. I packed them up this morning, and took them to work so that I could swing by the library and drop them off on my way home. I'd lent one of the books to a co-worker, and I very conscientiously remembered to ask for it from her. I was so proud of myself for remembering!
So naturally, I was halfway home when I realized... I'd forgotten that book at the office!
This whole saving-money-by-borrowing-books-from-the-library scheme has gone rather awry, I'm sorry to say.
I never made a conscious decision to set world records in forgetting and losing things. But I seem to be pretty accomplished at both, in spite of myself. I don't even have to try! I'm just a natural.
I'm also very, very annoyed.

I can't believe that, knowing you are not great at returning library books, you loaned one out to a co-worker! It's not actually your book to loan! ;) But who am I to talk. I have at least twice taken advantage of the library amnesty program, where, after about 5 years they forgive any debt you have accrued. And thank goodness for that or I probably wouldn't have allowed in the doors after 1995.
