back to school, to prove to Dad that i'm not a fool

so i was at the library today attempting to read about incandescent lightbulb replacement projects in India, when i was very rudely interrupted by the high-pitched staccato sound of Japanese office lady chatter.

in the APU library, there are signs on every wall, in multiple languages, that clearly state
NO TALKING
NO EATING AND DRINKING THE FOODS [sic]
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED THE BELONGINGS [sic]

after about 30 seconds of annoyance bordering on uncalled for anger, i pulled up iTunes and put on Crystal Castles. problem solved.

at noon i packed up my stuff and started heading down the stairs. "Johnny Salaryman" called to see if i was ready for lunch. i answered and barely whispered "moshi moshi, toshokan ni iru, chotto matte ne?" (hey dude, i'm in the library, hold on a second)

and then some jerkface in a red jacket chided me for using a cell phone in the library. the office ladies were still talking.

wtf.
