I'm not too busy here
But busy enought that they'd notice my absence.
AND I'm on the desk so I have another three hours and forty minutes of smiling at the public and helping them find non-existent books by giving me the wrong author's name.

this sounds familiar
although once I did find a book for someone who just described it as 'red'

This man gave me the wrong author, the wrong title and looked like a clip-board buddhist.
I also think he fancies me.
Fortunately I found enough info on the book to prove to him that we don't have it.

If I were still there
I'd wait until your back was turned and place a bar of your favourite chocolate on the desk, then leave.

Somebody left me some cough sweets once
We do get boxes of Celebrations and such around the time of finals too.

That's lovely
I didn't leave you anything when I finished, mainly because I lost my library card, but also because I was very, very poor.

That sounds like a dreadful euphemism
"Giving a librarian an easter egg" *winks*

I did that as well ;)
actually it was because I was eleven and she let me rent out 18 films, and take out books from the adult library.

I'm shit, I agree
