Remind me never to do anything like this ever again

[oneiriad]

So, I am doing a project for school this semester, right?

Me and my project partner, we are basically doing a user-survey at Greve Library, mostly about which of the library´s facilities people use and whether or not they use bibliotek.dk. We´re using a questionnaire we spent a lot of time making, and this week and the next we are spending whole days in Greve convincing people they should fill them out and help us.

10 - 19 tuesdag and wednesday this week - and with two hours of transport each way and having to spend most of the day standing, smiling and walking and asking politely "Escuse me, would you like to help us with our usersurvey?" (or variations thereof) - well, let me just say that I slept very, very well last night. And I have 4 more days next week with more of the same...

Don´t get me wrong, though - people are nice, smiling and friendly and surprisingly many of them are willing to take the 5-10 minutes it takes to fill out the questionnaire. But it is nevertheless 9 hours straight with only a tiny break for lunch and the occasional breather, and it is all standing - so please, do remind me never to do anything like this ever again.

Well, not really torture, because time passes surprisingly quickly. Besides, we are two and we only need to get seven or eight people to fill in the questionnairy every hour - the rest of the time we talk about stuff or observe stuff (the other day a guy drove a bicycle into the library, and the staff made a few Halloween decoration thingies (we don´t celebrate Halloween in Denmark, though - but we are being flooded with it anyway). And when we are not doing anything, sometimes I spend time trying to figure out what to write in my next chapter of "Falling..."...

Well, but anyway, you have to stay there and can't go home. That's what I hate, too. You're not doing anything but you can't move to a place more comfortable. But if it inspires you for your fanfiction, just stay right where you are! And I promise I'll read the rest soon... *feels a bit small*
