Empty Storage Unit and Randomness

We finally emptied our storage unit. Yay! We have not yet unpacked only partially because we are lazy. The other part was that people came to spray for roaches and we needed to move all our stuff out of the cabinets and to the middle of the rooms. So a good chunk of the unpacking we did was undone and any unpacking that we would have done stopped because there was no point. The only thing we didn't move away from the walls was our entertainment center that was reincarnated in our move as a bookshelf. Our awesome TV that we got for free doesn't fit in it, and there is no place in the living room for it since there is a closet or a shelf or a window or our couch anywhere it could be placed, unless we put it right in the middle, which we won't because then we can't see the TV.

On an amusing random note, I sent out an email last time I posted here informing everyone that I posted, since I'm erratic and unpredictable. Just a sec, I'll get to the funny part. Ok, so in that email I asked everyone who wanted me to send them updates to tell me so that I would know who to email when I posted. I don't want to spam people's inboxes if they are keeping up with my posts in a different way or if they don't care to read my blog :(. Well, and here's the funny part, I only had one person respond and say they wanted me to email them. It wasn't a family member, not even my mom. It wasn't a high school friend, or in fact a friend I have met in real life. It was a friend from WoW. I have spoken to him through chat in the game and voice through the computer, but I have only ever seen a blurry picture of his face. To summarize, the only person who is interested in my ramblings is a guy I have never actually met. I can understand my husband not replying because whether he likes it or not I tell him I posted and ask him to read. But everyone else? *sad face* I'll send out one more email teasing people and giving them a guilt trip, but then I won't send any more reminders to the people who did not tell me they wanted one. They'll just have to check back randomly. Perhaps I'll have a whole bunch of posts since they last checked and then they will never read them because it will take too much time. Or, more likely, they will check to see no new posts and therefore, wasted their time.

Hmmmm.... I'm trying to think if I have any observations I'd like to share. None that really stick out. Well, I do have one, but it may offend people. I'm sorry to bring in controversial and potentially, nay definitely, offensive subjects, but it's my blog and as a blogger, it is my duty to offend and confound any who read. That's right folks, I'm talking about Library Science. Why, oh why does one need a Masters degree to be a librarian? That's two extra years after a four year Bachelors degree. Why does one need six years of school to put books on shelves, number them for easy retrieval, and make little cards so people know where to look? Obviously, there must be more to being a librarian than that. I just don't know what else they could possibly do.

Now, here is my random quote:
"Good evening, I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, so in the end, isn't that the truth? The answer is, 'No.'" ~The Simpsons~
