In a personal first for me, today I was informed that I am banned from a library—the Lingnan University one.
My crime? I foolishly completed some of the clearance paperwork for exchange students, including a certification that I have neither loans nor fines outstanding from the Lingnan library. According to the wisdom of Lingnan bureaucracy, this means that I’m done with the library and should be denied physical access to it for the remaining, oh, two days of the term. Amazing, especially since I’d just donated a couple items (unaware that I was already dead to the library). “You cannot use our library anymore.”
I took the hint (after mild fussing and getting the standard “just following unwritten rules without a smidgen of critical thought” excuse).
