11 a.m. - 12 p.m. ; 1 - 2 ; 6 - 7 p.m.

What I'm doing between questions: catching up on Autocat (RDA is making me want to vomit), and checking for subject heading updates

11:00
  • No headphones on my computer? [move yourself over to one that has one]
  • Paper and pencil
  • Fax...and white-out? [he uses the white-out, but when I tell him it's $1/page, he opts to take his 15 pages elsewhere to fax]
  • OCD Me untwists the phone cord
  • Paper and pencil
  • How to print just the page content, not the extra junk on the webpage? [I show her how to cut and paste to Word]
  • 3/18's NYT Style section [still behind the desk, so I give it to her, and go get yesterday's from the Reading Room]
  • Uhmmm, those aren't internet stations [and I have a little discussion about whining with one of the kids she has with her about whining...lol]
  • [phone] Film Noir and the teacher guide, and anything else about teaching film noir [I'll have to ILL everything, I'm sure]
  • Pictures of the solar system [we don't have any in books according to them--hah! I'm sure we do--but I do find several online pics that'll do]
  • The New World and The Last Templar [the former is here on the shelf, the latter we'll have to get from another library]
  • [phone] How High the Moon [I swear we have this, but it's not in the catalog...so I give her the number for the library in the next town over, outside our consortium, which may have it]
  • Guy prepping for his proctored test needs a break...I hope I'm not there when he's ready for the test....

1:00
  • The guy is taking his test...I hope I know what to do next......
  • Mail person brings me another real estate exam
  • Fax
  • Test-taker just logged himself out--I log him back in
  • [phone] "Did my proctoring agreement I just faxed arrive?" [sigh, yes]
  • Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get those film noir things ordered....
  • Redneck Cinderella [head-desk--in our consortium, I'm sorry to say]
  • Spider's Revenge [I leave it for ordering next time we do a demand order]
  • [phone] Request for a book I'd have to ILL, but her card's expired and she owes over the 'legal limit' for ordering stuff so she'll come in and start the ILL process after her card is fixed
  • Pencil returned
  • Pay to print
  • Pencil and extra paper returned
  • Pay to print

6:00 in the kids' room
  • I do a quick round of picking up left-behind stuff and reshelve it
  • Paper

  • Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School [our copy was on the shelving cart, but I find it]
  • Paper & pencil
  • "Where am I on the lists for all the Hunger Games books?" [somehow his name has gotten bumped down to the bottom...how odd; I placed those holds for him a couple of weeks ago!]
  • Pay to print
  • Teen gaming programs [we're in that weird in-between time where I can't access the calendar and the next printed program isn't out yet either....he'll be in again soon, I know so I tell him to check with me next time he sees me]
  • He also asks about doing a Facebook program for kids...GREAT IDEA!!
  • Bathroom key [and patron lets me know that the men's room in the adult area is all plugged...yay :-(]
  • I Spy books [yep, I show 'em where]
  • How to download ebooks [long explanation...and I'm going home now]
