Overdue Library Books
So I got to the Town Centre only to find I had neither
by rucksack or the bike lock that it holds.
On the second journey I gets my books and try and leave
the library only the Master Darlek machine reckons my password is wrong.
So the woman says oh there's a pound fine due.
Some months back I got out 5 books, I noticed they were overdue
and renewed them online, but a day had already passed.
So I paid but still there was a problem.
The five books were showing up as me still having them.
Well I remembered quite well me bringing them back and paying
the pound fine before.
So the woman looks for one books and then so does the Duty manager.
And people are getting hot and such. All the while I'm sitting in
a chair convinced I brought them back. And tell them so.
I'm thinking,they've stitched me up before they're not doing it
again and so forth. And I go and look for the books on the shelf.
And yep they're not there and the manager insists I go home and look.
Well I have a clear vision of me having them in a tescos back, taking
them back and payin the fine. But now a slight doubt has krept in.
I fly home and what do I find under junk and a stack of my own books.
Only the god damn books.
So I get online renew them, one wouldn't as it was wanted.
it says ~15 fine. I phone them up say sorry, found books.
They were due back 14th last month and it's 14th today.
But I still can see me taking the books back and paying the fine.
Bizarre.
Yes I am now officially a delusional nut job.
It goes without saying that this cock up is someone elses fault and not mine.

This happened to me once in a university library, except in my case I
had returned the book but the librarian had misplaced it. I was
informed that they were going to charge me for the book, which would
have been hundreds of pounds as the book was rather rare. I decided to
go looking for it myself. I eventually found it in the German section
rather than the Germanic section, where it should have been placed.

I must have gone through the taking books back procedure so thoroughly
that it became ingrained as a memory.
It probably only means I have now a powerful imagination an ability to see things.
The untidy side of things I will blame on my goin pains and so the NHS.
The distraction side of things, well there's people to blame there as well.
I will accept 10% of the blame, though I can now see myself now paying the full book fine.
The library has become alien since it went auto. And there's always the woman that
think you're a tealeaf, what luck I had today?)+~!#

Well done, an online female has got inside my head these last two years
playing mind games. But I'm over her now, kinda, mostly. Teasing bitch, sweet heart
devil woman.

Well in a distraction kinda way, yes.

For clarity
I picked up the bag to put the bike lock in.
But finding it fall of Jaywick Sands stones
had to empty them into a carry bag.
Then I pumped up both inner tubes and then left the bag
entirely, never even to looking for the bike lock. Then I left.
The Bike lock I found for the second journey out,
turned out to be near the actually books of doom.

I'm thinking an NHS house cleaner would spice things up a bit.

I can assure you I don't expect any empathy from someone styling themselves
'onlymememe'. Yes I come here and try and set a few wrongs with the world.
And if I find those wrongs in my personal life, is it so wrong to air them also?
No, don't stay onlyme, go back to your self serving belly laughs, your tongue
poking at humanity in his time of need. Your heavy raised arm and its pointing
boney finger. Have a pretzel on me.
