• Crisis du jour: the pump in the fish tank died, and now a fish has succumbed and is floating on the surface...the horror!
• "Where do I print?" [I show her] ; she asks about computer classes [so I photocopy our list for her]
• ...and a mom takes her cranky toddler out, after giving her a short T.O. for smacking mom repeatedly in the face [gonna be a long day at their house...mom looks pretty unhappy]
• [phone] Vendor from ALA calling to talk about their product; I pass along the boss's email but she's at a meeting today, so....
• Custodial worker wants to know about broken fish tank part; I tell him the very little bit I know
• ...then comments that the salt water from the tank appears to have bleached out the tiles next to it in the craft room...
