Maybelle's covering up in the reference library for reasons which elude me. She's just had a customer query which she knows can be answered using one of the online reference services we subscribe to. Unfortunately, the password's changed and she doesn't know it. So she has a look around the desk, in the desk, on the PC and then, finally and desperately, in the Red & Black notebook that passes as the Reference Librarians' Vademecum. No luck whatever. So she has to ring Eileen.
"Hi Eileen. Sorry to disturb you during your break but I need a password to log onto..."
It was in the Red & Black notebook.
Under W for "Web sites."

I now regret switching to Moleskine. Mine has nothing in it, as I'm too humbled by its heritage to make my mark.
nursemyra: *every* anecdote about our reference librarians sounds far-fetched, which is why I don't tell you the really strange stories.
Madame deF: they're government issue. I wouldn't like to guess which government.
Boyo: it's a bad do when your stationery saps your self-confidence. This is probably why our stationery cupboard's been barricaded by dustbins this past week.
I'm not the world's best filer. I'm saying nothing!
Pat: I think they need your skills.
