This week …
… I underwent a heavy training schedule in readiness for my trip. The training did not necessitate the wearing of the padded shorts, nor the wearing of the clippy shoes, nor outrageous amounts of Goretex. Not even a bicycle was used in this training. Because the training was of the Kulchooraal type. The training was undertaken in Washington DC and I was able to determine the following about the Capital City of You Ess A.
There are only 5 types of jobs to be had in DC:
- working for the Government
- working for the Military
- working to guard 1 and 2
- working to feed 1 and 2 and 3
- working to clean up after 1 and 2 and 3 and 4
I have never seen so many administrators in my life.
But what’s the best job in DC?
That’s easy!
Being a member of the Police Force of the Library of Congress and getting to handcuff patrons who talk above a whisper in the reading rooms.

Wouldn’t it be more effective if, instead of handcuffing the chatty readers, the LC Cops sealed their mouths with masking tape? Then the neutralised readers could continue working while acting as a highly visible deterrent.
I’m brimming with ideas. Clearly wasted in a backroom job, get me to the reference desk!

Do u think we can get the LC Cops to sort out the staff too? I’m thinking that some could just be shoved in a cell with the key thrown away.
