BEST SHIFT EVAH!!!!

So I had possibly the greatest shift known to mankind a couple of days ago. But first, some back story.

In my town I work at the public library. We are opening a new branch on the other side of town (which is really fun, but lots of work). Speaking of, I got an email saying we still 16,000 more materials to shelve there. D:

Anyway, the building is still being worked on by the construction guys, and one the things that they apparently have to do (although I think its just all the sadists in the group having their fun), they have to test the fire alarm in the building. For 30 MINUTES. A half an hour with the most annoying, aggravating ringing sound you can imagine. And we were supposed to shelve during this. So me and the other pages (a fancy name for peeps who put crap on shelves) tried to work, but after about ten minutes we said “Screw it” and retreated to outside the building (which wasn’t much better, and to get outside we had to pass through the Ringing Gauntlet of Doom, where the volume of the fire alarm was magnified by a factor of 10 x 5 gazillion).

So we got outside, and a couple of pages hid in their cars, until a couple of the other peeps (these are not the peeps that put stuff on shelves, they are the peeps who unpack boxes and check books. Don’t get confused!) came out of the building. We stood there for about 30 seconds, before we had this exchange:

ALL: *cringing from the pain of the fire alarm*
PAIGE THE LIBRARIAN, NOT THE PAGE: LET’S GO TO DAIRY QUEEN!!!!!
US: :D :D :D :D

So all five of us piled into Paige’s car (which is small) and we swooped around all the Terrible Traffic Circle of Darkness, until we got to Dairy Queen. As we were about to go into it and get ice cream, it began to pour, like hard core precipitation man. So we ran like hell into Dairy Queen, getting soaked in the process, got our ice cream, and sat around eating it while thunder boomed and lightning flashed. Then, the rain stopped, so we went back.

We arrived in the parking lot, and the page in the front seat opened the door, and what should we hear? The terrible ringing, still going!!!! In unison, we all groan and get out of the car, looking like this. We start walking toward the building, dragging our feet, our depression fighting with our ice cream high. Then the alarm blessedly stopped. We all yelled for joy, right there in the parking lot.

FIRE ALARM: I’M GONNA FINALLY STOP BEING A DOUCHE AND STOP RINGING.
US: YAY!!!!!!! XD
CONSTRUCTION DUDES: O.o

So then we all skipped to the building, and the world was full of rainbows and unicorns. Elisabeth, The Uber Librarian of Awesomeness met us at the door.

ELISABETH THE UBER LIBRARIAN OF AWESOMENESS: Guess what guys? I BROUGHT ICE CREAM SANDWICHES FROM THE MAIN BRANCH!!!!
US: LOL!!! :D :D :D :D :D
