mmmmmango! I bought myself mangoes yesterday - they were on offer and a reward for getting through my first day, and I ate one last night and one just there. Yum. I always forget how much I like fruit in general and certain fruits in particular, and of course I should not get mangoes due to their travel-miles but oh well.

I have now had two days of work and they have gone quite well. There are three other students who started at the same time. We have been working in pairs down in the basement, measuring how much shelf space the periodicals take up, by journal and by date. They are on movable shelves to save space so we get to wind them along, which is terribly exciting! But this morning, a man did not check the open aisle before winding the shelves along...

We almost got squashed!

And we had to yell and tell him to stop winding because we left a kickstool and ran the wrong way, out of not thinking, because, hey! the shelves were moving! But having the stool in there stopping the shelves could have thrown them off their tracks, or broken the stool, or both. And for the rest of the day whenever we heard shelves moving, we flinched - they were always in one of the other sections, thankfully.

I am tttiiirrreeeddd. *blink* *blink* *bbbllliiinnnkkk*
