Library [Saturday]

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

It was eerily and unexplainably cold when Mac came in to open the library for her shift.

She can probably be found sitting behind the desk clinging to a large mug of hot coffee that was taking the edge off. For all that she liked her job, she also preferred it a bit warmer.

There's a big stack of library card forms there on the desk again for any of the new kids that might still need one.

"I see that hasn't changed," Tosh joked as she started filling out the form.

Mac snickered. "Definitely not," she confirmed as she pushed a mug across the desk.

"I think 'people are dumb' is pretty much the only common factor between all times and universes."

"It's good to know that's one thing that we can all agree on," Tosh chuckled, taking the mug.

"I brought along a spare laptop," Mac said, pulling it up from behind the desk. "It's a bit older, but my... uh, friend, put this thing on my new one where it alarms whenever anyone but me touches it."

She gestured towards the librarian offices. "Not sure that'd be approved of."

"Oh, guess that goes against the no loud noises rule," Tosh said, glancing at the laptop. "This is not quite as bulky as the ones I am used to."

Mac nodded as she grinned at Tosh.

"Surprising how much can change in a decade or so." She flipped it open and on. "You a programmer, or a gamer, or... something else?"

"Oh, everything," Tosh said. Yes, she was right up there with the geekiest of computer geeks. "Sometimes I even tinker with computer parts and electronics."

Mac grinned. Kindred spirit. There was just one last test...

"Mac or Linux?" No geek in their right mind used Windows, so she didn't even put it on the list.

"Mac is reliable, but I am intrigued by Linux. Of course, it's new back in 1992," Tosh replied. "Linux version 0.95 was just released. I would guess it is better now?"

Mac shrugged. "Some people think so," she allowed. Okay, it wasn't her taste, but it worked. "I just like what I know. I'm a bit stuck in my ways."

"As I said, Mac is always reliable," Tosh said. "Which is why I prefer it."

Re: Afternoon:

Mac grinned smugly. "Well, thank you," she teased, picking up her mug of coffee.

Re: Afternoon:

"You're quite welcome," Tosh chuckled.

"If you want to borrow that for a little while, you can," Mac told her. "Not like I use it anymore. So long as I get it back eventually."

"I know where you live," she added with a little smile. "Or, can look it up, at least."

"That's very generous of you," Tosh said, glancing at the computer screen. "I promise no harm will come to it. I assure you, though, it likely won't be long before I get my hands on one of my own."
