Sad Stories from the Library

One librarian got to work today and discovered the grocery sack she thought contained her lunch (and dinner) actually contained cleaning products. Apparently, her lunch (and dinner) were still sitting at home on the living room floor. She had to get to a meeting right away and could not go home to retrieve her lunch (and dinner). This librarian did not eat breakfast.


Another librarian got to work today and discovered there were only three hubcaps on her car, whereas when she left her home a few minutes earlier, there were four. She had inadvertently run up against a curb (haven't we all done the same thing?) and apparently left one hubcap at the scene. The hubcaps were brand new.
