13 Things that suck when you have a massive headache

1. Working (with others) on a web page that you formerly thought was perfect - one that you've spent an obscene amount of your own time on, all for the glory of your public library. Grrr.
2. Dealing with a really loud library, and no place to hide...
3. Trying to think up a TT for today when your head pounds and your brain is empty.
   
4. Squeaky toys - oh geez! Who thought that putting these in public buildings were a good idea?!?
   
5. Doing a lesson plan for a baby story hour when you are super (gag-me-with-a -spoon) sick of baby songs. Itsy Bitsy Spider this, man.
   
6. Having to "babysit" 12 year-olds to make sure they don't go on (cue: scary music) the forbidden MySpace.com.
7. Rich kids and lazy parents (that should be the title of a book).
8. Dealing with a mess. I get the most O.C.D. when I feel like crap. Just ask Tim.
   
9. Needing caffeine fed to you intraveniously. Heh heh... You know, it's National Caffeine Awareness Month. Fancy that.
10. Some kid just thew a paper plane at me. Sometimes things like that make you want to reevaluate your choice of profession.
11. I also hate that I need to wear glasses, but my prescription is way old and I am too poor to get new ones. (Maybe this is why my head hurts?) Who is to say I'd even wear them anyway. Librarians already have these personas..glasses, cats, a freaky sense of humor - my cards are already stacked.
12. Oh freak, I wish there were staff bathrooms here. I just braved the public one and I swear someone took a bath in there. There was even a bottle of V05 in the trash and water all over the floor - ick. We won't even talk about what it smelled like. I guess I should be happy this person washed up, but I'm not!
13. By now, you probably think I hate my job. I don't. I just hate the mixture of migrane and rotten days at the P.L.
