Inside the mind of an embittered, overly cynical Librarian:
8:10am - Christ, it's far too fucking cold to be getting up this early, I'm sure if I go for a piss it's going to turn into an icicle before it hits the basin. Time to hit the showers
8:50am - I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late and I've got a meeting first thing with the site manager and I'm GOING TO BE FUCKING LATE! ARGH!
9:01am - BITCH! I risk falling over in frost, asthma/heart attacks due to extreme unfitness and all sorts of unpleasantness involved when someone who really shouldn't is forced to run and you're not fucking here! Gah!
9:25am - BWAHAHAHAHA! Ok, this more than makes up for it, some crazy old lady called up just now to complain. Apparently she wanted to speak to the head of the library services for the entire Borough of Merton (an area of London, population of about 500,000 I think). The reason she was calling? Well, our library provides free Internet access to anyone who wants to use it and apparently the day before she had come in and used the Internet access, gone into some kind of Internet chatroom, and someone had swore at her. Yes, that's right kiddies, she was complaining to the head of the library service because some random person on the Internet swore at her.
9:57am - Dammit, first static electric shock of the day. There's a reason I keep track. It appears this library is home to a vengeful and angry spirit who wishes to visit destruction on ruination upon the world. Unfortunately, in ghostly terms, he's a bit of a pussy and has to settle for giving me a static electric shock every 5 goddamned minutes.
10:30ish am - More static, this time twice from the same till in under 10 seconds. I need to come into work wearing marigolds (rubber gloves)
11:00ish am - Oh Christ, so I got another static shock, this time from the cabinet where we keep the enw release videos. However, I was holding a pen loosely in my hand at the time and when it got shocked I jerked it back, inadvertently flinging the pen into the face of a rather sour-faced old man waiting at the counter. He seemed to accept my rushed apologies, but I get the feeling he still believes I assaulted him with a ballpoint.
12:00am - LUNCHBREAK! Sweet, blessed lunchbreak!
Second half some other time kiddies....

Maybe you could attach a grounding wire to yourself so the static would be discharged harmlessly prior to shock. However that may just provoke your ghosts' wrath and he would escalate from its sensless acts of random shocking to more malicious acts.
