One day I was IMing my friend at another branch, when she asks me if I sniffed the new SRP scratch and sniff bookmarks. Scratch and sniff bookmarks!?!? And no one has told me we had them because??? I told her to hold on and jumped up from my cube to talk to the YS librarian who was working the info desk. I asked her if the SRP bookmarks came in and if she has smelled them. She gives me this weird look, "Why would I smell them?" Because they're scratch and sniff duh-doy. So I opened up a box and took a big whiff.... nothing.

| Some kid's going to be getting one scratched up bookmark... |
I took it back to my desk and tried scratching at it, nothing. So I sent a message to my friend asking if this is some cruel librarian SRP virgin hazing prank or something and she goes, "Wait, what do your bookmarks look like?" So I sent her a pic of the scratched up one and she replied that theirs has bees on it. Well, la-dee-da fancy ass branch with their smelly bookmarks to give away.
I guess the YS librarian must have felt some pity after seeing my utterly dejected expression, because after my shift on the info desk, I walked back to my cubicle to find the bookmark catalog opened up to this page:

| Hells yea, we're getting some smell-goods! |
There are so many things I want to say about this.
ReplyDelete1. I appreciate your use of duh-doy. Not sure if it's a plus or a minus that I now always hear that in Britta Perry's voice.
2. What did you expect an astronaut bat to smell like?
3. I have a scented pencil that smells like rootbeer. It's called a Smencil. I never use it and keep it in its little plastic case because I don't want it to lose its smell.
4. WILL YOU SEND ME SMELLY BOOKMARKS???
1. I love Britta, even though she's the worst!
Delete2. Spacey? Batty? I imagine what Buzz Aldrin would smell like, Moon Dust and kickass.
3.I want a root-beer Smencil!
4. Hells yes, of course you can have some smell-good bookmarks! Did you want the "honey" one too? It actually reminds me of my Grandmother's make-up table.
They won't let me get the scratch and sniff bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, just say you "accidentally" ordered them instead of the plain old non-smelly kind.
DeleteWould you like me to send you some smell-goods too?
