Oh no! I am sensing the start of the great Journal Uprising of 2007, that triggered the famous Health Librarians rebellion of 2008, which in turn lead to the Mass Closures of Health Libraries in late 2008 (and the resulting rather rushed and botched attempts by the government to force health librarians back to work - the "Insistence on Subsistence for Health Librarians Act" of 2008 that didn't quite have the desired effects and then the spin campaign of "Health Librarians are grumpy sods, so kick them quite hard" that followed?) oh and then the Burning of Books 2009 by unemployed health librarians forced from their hovels (er, sorry Health Learning Enrichment Environments - y'know the places we used to call libraries).  All that soot and stuff sent into the atmosphere was enough (along with the toxins from melting CD cases - as most of the educational CDS had after all been nicked, and not even mentioning the stuff given off by the all burning 1970s polyester carpets that we!
 re!
 obligatory to most health libraries...) to trigger a sudden calamatous and unstoppable collapse into global warming and nuclear holocaust/general catastrophy etc etc that we now experience in 2010.

Charlotte, please for the good of your fellow health librarians step AWAY from the journal shelves right now.  This is a friendly voice from the future....

Apologies for the lack of correct punctuation, after all the librarian led chaos and anarchy, the government decided on a big clamp down on education for the masses and punctuation is actually banned and I could get into terrible trouble for using commas and stuff like that...

Still, gotta go (the hamster powering this PC - now we no longer have mains electricity has run out of carrot and the machine is.....)

I am not a pessimist - I am just a very cautious optimist.
