I’m being billed $60 for water dam­age and mold on a book that I checked out? I. Think. Not.

Unfortunately, I sus­pect that when I go in to tell them that:

  • They need to can­cel the $170 that they billed to the bursar’s office when I had paid the full fines last week, fines which had then amounted to $133.75.
  • I want to check-in about 20 books, pay the late fees ($3ish), and imme­di­ately check them back out.

… that per­haps they won’t believe that my pen­chant for keep­ing books months later than I’m allowed to keep them is in fact evi­dence to how I would never allow mold to develop in a book. Rather, that par­tic­u­lar book gave me a hor­ri­ble headache because of its pre-existing mold dur­ing the all-nighter I pulled to com­plete that paper on the per­pet­u­ally unmet Mazlowian needs of Bolivians.

argh!

and now I have another headache.
