One of the downsides to working in a library is that it is just too easy to request stuff. A friend of mine compared it to being a junkie having a job in an opium den, which is probably a fair comparison.
So right now I have 32 books on my nightstand (it’s a hell of a nightstand) and I can’t bear to return any of them. I think in future, instead of immediately mashing the “hold item” button when something catches my fancy I’m going to make an entry here and keep track of things that way.
Of course, this just leaves me open to Netflix Queue Disease, in which you have three hundred items that you want to get around to someday… but new things are coming out every day. I wonder if anyone has actually studied the possibility of people who are simply addicted to media. If not, I offer myself as a guinea pig.
