What a difference between this job and my old job in Alaska! At my old job I had to get up at 3.50am ( that's not a typo ) So I could take the dog for a walk and get ready for work as I had to be there at 5.30am, that was my normal schedule, sometimes I had to be at work at 4.30am as we would have charters or early flights and I needed to be there 1 hour before flight time to make sure that the crew also showed up, I don't think that I have ever been late?! Today I had to be at work at 9.30am , I'm such a nerd! I didn't want to be late so I got there at 9.10am just in case!I learned how to check out books and video and to check in books and video that are dropped off. Being that the library is small, it has an agreement with most of all the other libraries to share books, so a lot of the books that we get back are for other libraries within the state so we need to check them in and send them back home. I was having a hard time not looking at the books as they came over the counter, I wanted to read the front cover and see if it was a book that I wanted to check out! My new boss Lisa made me go to jail today! Boy oh Boy! don't get her mad at you! Noooo , it wasn't like that at all, the building that the library is in was built back in 1915 and its the old and current town hall. So it has the original jail in it from way back. Lisa needed to show me where the bathroom supplies are kept at.Now I can make sure that the T.P. never runs out in the woman's bathroom. That's very important stuff!
I did not, one time at all today, have to worry about that a plane might break, that the weather might be bad ( its always bad in St Paul, St George and Dutch Harbor ) or that a crew member was going to call and tell me that they couldn't come to work cause they where sick and then I only had a short time to find a replacement crew, Long story short, I love my new job! The only way it could be better is if I could be there more!
I did have a hard time sleeping last night as I was like a kid before Christmas! I had my clothes all pick out the night before. I am such a nerd!

You are a little bit of a nerd, but isn't it wonderful to be at a job you actually enjoy instead of one that you hate? I can relate. I still haven't had a day where I hate my job where I work now. But the job before that I was sick on the way to work just dreading going there.
