2:00 - 4:00 ; 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

What I'm doing between questions: hah! School district art show is up, so random people are wandering around looking for 'their' art (or their kids'). Public Library Core Collection 2011 has arrived so I do some desultory checking in my buying areas. Oh, and reading Autocat postings.
2:00

• Yesterday's problem patron (drunk & disorderly) having trouble accessing his internet account due to fines on library card [Circ Supervisor notes that he is making payments but still owes almost $40, so SAM won't let him online--day-pass a-go-go for him...and yes, he's been drinking cheap beer again]
• "Do I have to register to use a study room?" [nope]
• Scratch paper
• Wireless access + "can I use a study room?" [yep, and yep...both these questions from people over 30, probably doing business]
• iPad--ebooks--long, but good, discussion of issues
• Pay for print  [yes we have a color printer]
• Card catalog [the one he usually uses has someone at it]
• [phone] Journey of Souls which I swear I already ILL'd for patron...after much searching I can find no trace of it [I end up thinking I requested for purchase, so I redo that]
• Pay for printing
• Borrow a calculator
• Scratch paper
• How to use internet [card is expired, so she has to renew at circ]
• Pay for printing
• [realize I'm logged in to Librarian K's email by accident, so everything I've sent from this desk has been 'from' someone else--what a dork I am!]

3:00

• Pay for printing
• Fatal Vows [can't believe we don't own this--guess where we are??--but I ILL it for her from one of the many libraries in the area that do have it]
• Second comment of the day that all our ebooks are 'checked out' with dozens of holds....yay [:-(]
• [I save this document now, because last week I did two hours out here and deleted the whole damn (long) post just before I saved it....]
• Calculator returned, and lengthy discussion of the Jim Carrey Grinch movie with a tweener and why it is checked out...still [he asked for it a couple of weeks ago; I eventually check IMdB and find that it will air on ABCFamily on Friday...parents pay for cable/satellite, but he doesn't have a library card?]
• Map from Fpt to Blt [found, printed, done + he paid!]
• Pay for printing
• [text from DH that his cortizone shot is done and he's headed home, courtesy of The Kid]
• Pay for printing [newbie]
• "How much to fax?"
• Pen [last three=same guy]

6:00 [in the children's room]

• [I suggest people looking at the art show panels that they might find what they are looking for elsewhere--this stuff is everywhere!]
• Pinewood Derby designs & patterns [our copy MIA--I reserve a copy from another library in our consortium]  
• James & the Giant Peach [on the shelf! Yay!]
• [Autocat topics under discussion: vodou/voodoo/vodun, discovery (in a technology sense), RDA (endlessly endlessly endlessly), and cataloging an issue of journal as monograph. Who says catalogers aren't fun? Anyway, I'm caught up]
• [Clean-up time in the Land of Toys...]
