As we were closing today, a woman who was using our wi-fi commented on how I joke around with the regulars. I have been with the district for nearly a decade now, and most of my career (such as it is) has been in this one small town. For better or worse, I know a lot of folks.
One particular patron is well known as a blowhard who likes to chat and joke around, so we often just throw it right back. This poor perplexed lady thought for a moment I was serious when I was telling this 70-year-old man I wasn't going to let him borrow an R-rated DVD!
Another regular asked me how I was doing. I hate those empty inquiries, so I try to answer with something unexpected. "Oh, I'm alive...." [pause for a beat] "...Allegedly." She gave the sort of chuckle such a lame joke warrants, but I also got a very loud knee-slapping laugh out of a woman who also walked in at the same time with that loose gait of being under the influence. The overreaction to such a remark certainly reinforced my suspicion she was experiencing life with chemical enhancement.
Now it's time for my non-work-related Dungeons & Dragons game. I know I haven't been writing much. I just haven't had the inspiration. This is basically dipping my toes back in the inkwell, or whatever the right conglomeration of analogies might be. The muses are bitches.
Laughs dude, simple but hilarious!
Of course you can't borrow an R rated dvd... You won't get it back
I like to say about people such as this: "They enjoy their liquid refreshments." Seems like a nice motley little crew you've got there, it's nice that they keep coming back for more. I also tend to write when I have something to say, and when not, I hit up the comments and ask them out on a date. They usually refuse. :)
It may have been booze. It may have been something less legal. I am not sure.
It's good that you have a little crew of people who enjoy your jokes. It's always useful to have someone like this around to lighten the mood. I like to think I'm that person in my own group of people. 😁
Thanks for spreading the joy to others, even in small ways. It all adds up to something greater than we can imagine!

I guess you have to have such a good connection or friendship to those folks so that you will be able to pull that kind of joke. Otherwise, you might get scolded. ahah
!LOLZ
On one hand, yes, it is a matter of building that kind of relationship over many years. On the other hand, I am growing frustrated with the library leadership and don't really care anymore about whether they scold or even fire me, so why not have some fun?
Danger, Will Robinson!
Classicly, however, you seem to be at the point in your career when you assemble your knaves and take some heads - and control of your career by seizing suzerainty. While there must be a better way, none has been demonstrated in the running of railroads. Too bad you don't work for Norfolk Southern, or, perhaps, damn good thing, that.
Thanks!

It's always funny when someone thinks that you are being serious when you are indulging in some banter!
I'm sure you speak purely from observation, and not in the slightest from personal experience. You're always such a paragon of virtue when it comes to being circumspect in matters of propriety!
The Paragon, that's me!! :0)
