This post’s creation can be attributed to Kim Unger’s desire to show pictures of “the higher-ups” dressed in construction gear. That, of course, can only take a post so far, thus I’ve taken the liberty to share some current photos of our Check-Out Desk construction zone.

Can’t miss seeing these cool cats.

Christine and Rachel are telling Duane (off-screen) that the orange clashes with his shirt. Probably. I wasn’t actually there, but it sounds right.

Kim didn’t want the others to feel silly alone. Unfortunately for the others, this look suits Kim a little too much.

You, dear reader, are probably here for the actual construction photos. Let me paint a picture for you first:

You’re sitting at the Check-Out Desk, trying not to bump your leg on the elevator box for a third time (or maybe that’s just me). There’s a strong scent of wood, dust, and fresh paint in the air. It tickles your nose and you hope you can find the tissue box in the surrounding chaos. A student approaches the desk, hoping to borrow a book on Reserve. At least, that’s what you hope they said. There’s currently some very loud banging happening right behind you. You confirm the call number twice as there’s a hammer coming down every time they say the letter D (or was it B?). Luckily, Rachel Hildebrandt is amazing and put all term 2 reserve books on carts behind the desk! Unfortunately, that means you have to fight your way past the other 4 carts lingering between you and your destination. You hope your limbs survive the journey…

Don’t be fooled by their innocuous cart-ness. One of them is a level 5 demon warrior that WILL wreck your toes if you aren’t careful. Oh, and I guess the room looks good too.

Forbidden books in the background (unless you’re wearing your +2 construction gear).

They’ve been painting today. Hopefully drywall won’t flutter down from the ceiling when we close the security gate anymore!

A sneak-peek of G5’s future. No more sitting in here spying on people in the smoker’s pit.
