11:00 [in kids' room]
- Key to restroom, and returned
- Other key to other restroom, and returned
- "Do I get a library card at the front desk?" [yep]
- [phone] Asks for Librarian C, but since she's not here today, "any other reference librarian" will do
- "Elephant Key Please!" [small child who used the Ladybug Key 25 minutes ago--lol), and returned
- [rather creepy guy comes in from the other room to print his documents, and stands and "hmm" and "uh-huhs" while doing so--ugh]
- IT guy appears, we chat
- Neuromancer [on holdshelf for someone else--I reserve it for him] and Dune [on the shelf, but so old the spine is hard to read]
- Gmail changed, so I go over how to compose a group email with an older patron
- Patron turns in random headband he found on the floor; I doubt anyone will remember it falling off here...but who knows?
- Magnifying glass to read the micro
fiche[it's actually film, but wevs, yo--and yes I actually found one in the drawer!] - [Sir, those computers don't access the internet]
- Fax
- Pencil
- Pay for printing [and a quick tutorial on how to his document print]
- Books on Britishisms or, better, Canadianisms or Australianisms and what they mean in "American" [we.have.NOTHING--fail--so I show him some of the blogs I read, especially the one by Lynneguist, and leave a note for the Mad Weeder on staff to freakin' BUY SOMETHING in that section!]
- Magnifying glass returned
- Kingston card reader returned
- "Is Librarian C around?" [yep--more of the grant fooforaw that's been going on around here all week]
- How the Grinch stole Christmas [all copies on hold or checked out, doesn't want to wait]; Mortal Kombat, game or DVD [we don't own, doesn't want to wait; Rush Hour 2 [aha! success, plus RH3 is here too]

- Scratch paper
- Pencil and paper
- Ethernet cable [ID taken and attached to note in drawer that says "USB thing"--in Librarian M's handwriting, and she's the techiest of us!]
- [time has officially stopped at 3:30...or rather slowed to a complete crawl...isn't it 4 YET?]
- Pay for printing

- Recycling bin time [and again I'm picking up stuff that didn't go IN the bin]
- Operation Family Secrets [on the shelf--woo-hoo!]
- "You have TWO horses here??" [yep, the other one is behind that pillar]
- [phone] "Can you find my old dentist's new addresss?" [couldn't find the guy]
- Scratch paper
Only thing I have for you today: incredulity that you so regularly lend ethernet cables. Sorry, I mean "USB things." To my knowledge, we've never. Of course, I had to fork over an opinion about where one might locate toner for the microfilm machine just this afternoon, so, there's that.
