I feel your embarrassment, and am just glad you remembered the face powder in time to exonerate yourself.<BR/><BR/>I had a similar though much less embarrassing experience the other day at the library. I had worked the bookstore and only entered the library proper to turn in the keys and receipts, and when I left, I set off the alarm. Afterward, I realized it was a videotape I had bought at the bookstore -- they don't remove the magnetic thingies from those when they turn them in for sale for some reason. At the time, I'm sure I took on a guilty look, but the librarian just waved me on my way, so it probably happens all the time to volunteers who staff the bookstore. Humph! Our reward for volunteering.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888509132720963681noreply@blogger.com
