I should know better
I just got a not-so-friendly email from the library: "The following materials are overdue. Your library privileges have been blocked. After 30 days, materials will be assumed lost and you will be billed for the replacement cost of each item in addition to your overdue fines." After spluttering about how the library was *obviously* incorrect and how there must be some mistake, I located the item in question.
I should know better. I used to work at a library, for crying out loud. And I used to marvel at how people could not know that the bound periodical they checked out was a 3-day loan instead of a 30-day loan. And now here I am, bound periodical in hand, 5 days overdue. I think I need a personal assistant... or a babysitter.
