one thing about being in too much pain to uphold social niceties (period and it's a bad one) is that i did spend all day at work not only doubled over and moving at a pace the ninety year old library ladies were lapping but i was even worse than usual at tasks like Looking At People Who Are Chewing Gum and "not edging away bugeyed when a coworker stands close next to me" and of course the perennial favorite "keeping track of more than three words spoken to me in a row and responding to that" and we'll let me merely say. it is just me and that murderbot. nobody else in this whole damn library understands

#(we catalogued a bunch of martha wells today and it was very apropos)#i just think. when im wounded and dripping secret fluids you can't expect me to keep up with this other shit is all #bookbot doesnt have any combat skills but it does have a faster search than the opac computer #so as soon as it remembers how sentences and conveyance of the searched information works you'll be in the business #augggggh and it was so busy too!!!111 and the guy who monologues on the phone called again and he always starts his calls with #'HEY darlin'!' fuck off robert call me darlin one more time. motherfucker #this is linux robert. we really dislike getting calls from linux robert. robert i'm blind is a different cooler guy #robert im blind is a blind guy named robert who introduces himself in those exact words. and he calls every solstice #in order to find out the exact time the solstice or equinox begins . i always wonder what rituals hes performing #linux robert merely wants to bother our IT department about the minutea of ubuntumint or whatever .no matter how many times we tell him NO #he cannot accept that our IT staff is busy keeping the whole county's library system running and cannot be his personal home computer staff #and that it is highly unlikely one of them would let him burn his custom linux mods onto the public library computers #(i THINK that's what he's trying to do. he is not great at explaining in what one might call. layman's terms. despite being The Explainer)#linux robert is deeply on the spectrum but guess what dude! so am i and so am your little brother who i went to grade school with #at least 25% of our patron base is on the spectrum the library is a very autistic place to be #autism doesnt exclude a guy from being a real annoying pain in the ass who calls you darlin condescendingly #his brother is a wonderful guy. i used to hang out with him at lunch bc his tss had adopted me as a sort of pseudoclient #she clocked my twelve year old weird and said oh ive got room for one more. so jon and i were like two chicks under the wing #and my good sixth grade buddy jon would never call me unsolicited endearments. because first of all he's literally nice #and second of all our favorite thing to do together was not talk #WHEW. anyway. long ass day . my coworker and i have resolved one of these days to clearly tell robert not to do that please #because otherwise he wont know . but it's also possible someone's already told him this and he just doesnt care
