Howdy everyone! Well this is our out of the library travels, and we are really excited, by we, yes me and R.A. She's too smart for her own good I tell you.
Today's experience is one of fun and joy. Did I mention we deliver and retrieve books from elderly ones that can't make it out? It's something that was instituted by one of the board members and thus is paid by that member. Since I sleep too often during staff meetings I was voted to be one of those peoples that helps out and drives these places once a week. Soooo....
Story... we get to an old massive house and hope for a quick pick up and drop off. But R.A. knew the woman and the next thing I know I'm being swept into the house to a huge kitchen for cookies.
Friend: "R.A. how's work?"
R.A: "Good, almost got enough money for Jamaica."
Friend: "Wow, how long have you been pranking the patrons into it..."
By this point I'm needing a rest room in the worst way. So while they are busy talking, I excuse myself to look for a restroom. Have I mentioned how gi-normous this house is?!?! It's like two blocks!!!! I was going from room to room and couldn't find a single bathroom!!!
What's really bad is I got lost half way through the house and don't know where in the world I am. (I'm horrible at my directions.) But what I did find was what was worth all the hassle... a library...
Yeah, I know, I work at a library all day long, why would I want to look at another one when I have a chance to get out. Well, if you haven't surmised by now... I love libraries. So I'm looking around R.A.'s friends library when a butler comes in... A BUTLER!!! He asks me what I'm doing there and I got to tell you I ain't good with those kinds of questions.
So the conversation goes: 'Uhhhhhh.....'
Butler: 'Who are you?'
REF: 'A librarian.'
Butler: 'Seriously now...'
REF: 'No I really am.'
He gives me this blank look as if I'm a complete retard and says, 'You are going to have to leave the premise ma'am.'
Okay, I don't know about you but I hate being called ma'am. I mean, I ain't that old yet! So without further ado, he drags me by the arm out of the library and down a bunch of halls, halfway through I'm asking, 'Do you happen to have a bathroom? That's what I was looking for when I left R.A. and friend.'
He stopped so suddenly I thought I was going to flip over and land on my tush. I have never seen a British man so pale. That's when R.A. and friend appear, asking where I've been. Now I don't know about you, but I want to find out why B.B. (British Butler) is so scared of R.A.
Real Life REF....
