I'm forever getting the word "shanty" confused with the word "shandy."

Sounds like a good time to re-post my '08 Halloween pic:

That was that year's Halloween theme at work. Last year we were cowpersons. This year, we're talking about dressing as fairy tale characters, or, library parlance, the 398.2s.

You should dress up as librarians. The women would have their hair in buns with a pencil holding it in place and they all wear high collar white blouses with gray skirts. The guys wear a teed jacket with patches on the elbows, a bow tie, and half moon glasses.

That and, even though none of us dresses like that ordinarily, I don't think the public would get it.

Well, you would just have to walk around with your finger over your mouth going "Shhhhhh! Shush!"

So they'd just think we were behaving normally but had adopted a frumpy style of dress. Actually, "Please walk!" is probably more commonly heard than shushing.

When I was a librarian, I treated every day as Halloween. Ever since the mid-90s, when I developed my goth-glam-ghoul-girl look insipired by Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage.
It didn't put patrons at ease, but I didn't think I was there to look the way they wanted me to look, I was there to either check out or check in library materials. A lot of people refused to let me wait on them, which upset me at the time. But I'm not bitter anymore. These days, I do all my work over the phone, so that eliminates any appearance-related awkwardness.

Somehow, I think we'll stick with the fairy tale theme.

Couldn't I be an enchanted librarian?
Lord knows, it would take some kind of enchantment to make my hair stay up as depicted in the image Quis posted. Either that, or an entire gross of hairpins and two cartons of hairspray.
