Where do I know you from?

(l-r) librarian; dog-ears


Background

Leicestershire born and raised, I've bounced around the East Midlands in the last few years for education and work. I am a high-functioning sociopath who has not yet killed, and work in an academic library in the areas of crowd control and litter-box clearing. I am a strong proponent of spaying and neutering students. I'm working under the assumption no-one ever reads 'about me' pages.
