ahem, we're on THE THIRD FLOOR!!!
okay, this is my passive aggressive way of dealing with my quickly rising blood pressure... i'm on the third floor right now, trying to get my reading done. everybody knows that the third floor is where you go when you need quiet, lack of distraction, and no social interaction.
HOWEVER, sitting in the carels next to me are two 3Ls (i think they're 3Ls... they're at least 2Ls) who are engaging in the following:
1. playing internet poker
2. talking to each other, in normal voices, about their respective internet poker games
3. swearing out loud at their computers about how poorly their internet poker games are going
4. and one of them just carried on a cell phone conversation
WTF?!?! AYFKM?* the sound of my fingers on my keyboard right now disturbs the silence of the third floor! i'm on the verge of kicking these guys in the shins if they don't knock it off!
you friends of mine out there who are SBA reps? next meeting i want it suggested that we institute library bouncers around here. i mean it!!!
*this stands for "are you fucking kidding me?", my new favorite thing to write in the margin of my casebooks when the court says something remarkably inane.

The AYFKM acronym will be very helpful to future law students reading future Roberts & Alito opinions.
I LOVE JOHN KERRY
I think you should have told them to STFU.*
STFU = Shut the fuck up.
They were doing that this afternoon around noon as well...i can't believe they were still there doing it when you were there. I really had to resist telling them to shut the fuck up. I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same internet poker playing loud talking on the 3rd floor library guys... (IPPLTOT3FLG, of course)
here's the wrench in the works, though -- one of them is in like three of my classes this semester, one of those three classes is a small class. so there's a delicate balance -- do i stand up for the rights of all studious 3d floor library folk? or do i suck it up so that i don't have a miserable semester in the classroom?
yeah. there's no contest there. i stand up for all studious 3d floor library folk.
duh.
oh, and rachel? i'm totally all about making up acronyms now since our conversation about IM and your family! word!

*Fuck that. When a guy is being a jackass in the library, you have to tell him to shut the fuck up.
nice!
i know john kerry, and i used to work for a member of the english royal family and a deposed indian prince nicknamed bonnie, and i'm home talking massive smack about nothing--there's a 3rd floor?
Hey, Throck...next year you can totally bask in the glory of your own (well, you have to share it with, like 15 other TAs) silent office with a window & a shitty computer. This is my sanctuary. If only you could smoke there, then I would never leave.
At least there are some non-monetary "perks" to being a TA...
Have much fun in Philly!
wouldn't it be fun to do scenes from the tempest? if only we had more time. donny
Might I make a suggestion? Let a librarian be the bad guy. We all had to take a class in library school to learn nice ways to tell people to STFU in the library. Just email me next time it happens leers@law.pitt.edu; I'll be down on 3 in a flash. Are you guys aware that the third floor is going to be renovated this summer? Also computer lab 1 is going to disappear - it's going to be turned into study areas.
