This was day 2 of the new job, and today was just as much fun as yesterday! It was more busy, I put about 50 books/videos/CD and DVD's back on the shelf and I pulled 20 items off the shelf to go out to other libraries. It's a nice feeling to send out books. Knowing that someone on the other end is going to have a mini Christmas when they get their book, OK maybe not like Christmas, but still a thrill to get a new book that you have been waiting on, I know I like it when I get my books. I can tell that there are going to be some odd people at the library! I will have to try and avoid eye contact with them! And maybe blog about them later! I will change the name and place to protect the weird!
I think hunting season is going to start soon, or maybe my neighbor just got a new gun, for the past 2 hours about every 10 min he shoots his gun about 10 times or so, then there's a 15 minute lull and them he shoots again, I don't mind, but I don't want my dog to go over and check it out. Abby had no fear of gun noises and when shes hunting her gofers she goes place to place and can end up far away, I would hate for her to get shot by accident ( I'm sure is would be an accident right?!)
I was glad to work today, but it would have been a great day to wash and hang up clothes on the line! I cant believe that I now think about the weather when I wash clothes! How crazy is that? but when you line dry, you don't want it to have a 3rd rinse! My Dad had made me paranoid about soap left in clothes when you wash, so I always do the 2nd rinse on the wash cycle.
But I will have plenty of time to wash them tomorrow or on Friday, its going to be in the high 70's tomorrow and then on Friday its going to get up to 86? or so! Eat your heart out, you poor wet and cold and shivering Alaskans!
The pic has nothing to do with the post today, just that its a nice pic of rural life. I keep on forgetting to keep my camera with me at all times. Its fall time so a lot of the fields are turning colors and so are the trees.
You know when you work in a library, you can't help but make fun of people...hey we work with the public!!! Did you know that public libraries are a "hang-out" for the mentally ill? Whether it's little creepy crawler fibers moving around in your skin, or vampires upstairs in the municipal building....we hear it all 365 days of the year. Don't worry about the noon whistle. I promise you we are not under attack ok?????
ReplyDeleteI work with the public too. We had a lady that used to call regularly to complain about us burning trash at the landfill and polluting the air. The truth is that we don't burn trash, it gets buried. What she was seeing was the water treatment plant and STEAM in the air. But she couldn't be convinced and she complained often.
ReplyDeleteVampires? I didnt know that! Lucky you! I will eat a lot of garlic to keep them away (it might keep the odd ones away too!)
ReplyDeleteYup, vampires! You haven't met Clifford yet. Kellie has met him. He's the one that believes we have vampires upstairs in our building. Be sure to ask Kellie about the day he walked into the library while she was working.....she'll feel you in about Clif. You are right, we do have some odd people that come in to the library.
