In what is possibly the saddest, most depressing moment of my career to date, this morning I had to call HMV to have a copy of Kevin Idiot Federline's CD RUSH EXPRESS COURIERED to the library.

Oh, the shame.

:-( There should be a get-out clause, where you don't have to fulfill any request to which you have a conscientious objection.

I so agree. Especially since it probably isn't really worth the $14 or whatever just to play a few seconds of it over a news story about the divorce or something.

$19.07, in fact. Lord almightly.

I thought I'd managed to register that objection by deliberately not ordering it, and, in fact, writing all over the release sheet "Do not order!!".

OUch.

That is both incredibly depressing and incredibly amusing. The shame. :)

You're depressed? I'm sitting by the phone waiting for a Backstreet Boy to call!

I guess it's just that kind of day. Sigh.

What is UP with the universe today?

I hope you didn't have to give your name in order to fill the order! The shame, indeed. I'd totally want to find the person who made you make that call so I can kick them in the shins.

I did try to explain to the HMV boy that it wasn't for me, but he couldn't hear me over the laughing.

My boss says I should tell you about how she had to request several books by Kevin Trudeau for an alum (with a PhD! in pharmacy or something!).

Oh, man, it's moments like this when I really do believe in censorship :P

i think that tagging this "music" is a little generous, don't you? ;)

[listersgirl]

I had that exact same thought. I almost created a new tag for arts&culture:"music".

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

ahaha. that would have been awesome :D

Seriously, it's time to give back to the world now. Order a penitent John Coltrane Box Set, and say 100 Hail New Pornographers.

I put in for an 8-disc set of Billy Bragg b-sides and outtakes, just to clear my palate.

oh the shame imposed on us by work! in a former job, I had to maintain the pc workstations around the library, and on one memorable occasion actually had to call IBM customer service and ask the rep who answered if he carried mouse balls.

It still makes me squirm with shame a little.

...

or maybe that's just what happens when I try not to laugh out loud. :p

[listersgirl]

Hee!

[starfishchick]

Oh honey I'm so sorry.
