What I'm doing between questions: my favorite: subject-heading checking...

11:00 in the children's room

• When I left Friday, I was only on-desk at 1. Of course, today I was late because I had to get the [distance] bookdrop emptied, and the schedule was changed so I'm on the desk as soon as I get here.  SO ... BLOODY ... ANNOYING
• Summer reading prizes
• ...and look the desk is clean: all the labels, stacks of handouts, and prize jars are done. Yay!
• No, no log=no prizes [yes, I am the big meanie today]
• ...bathroom key now... [the joys of potty training]
• Key back [success!!]
• Summer reading prizes
• Shark Tale movie [one is out, one is MIA, so I place a hold for it from somewhere else]
• Baseboard unit has lost its front--note to custodial dude
• Skipping is clearly the new black...
• We have pouting and sulking and that nasty whingey sound  [so glad I'm past that] ; I think Mom caved in, but I'm leaving now so....

1:00

• Our pet Mormons are here today...out of uniform, which is quite startling
• YA reading club
• Reset public internet that someone sent back to the Microsoft login page...sigh
• I hear a tambourine...guess the kids' program is going on downstairs
• [phone] "I'm calling about doing a reading, you're [Librarian B], right?" [nope, but I'll transfer you to her]
• [phone] Regular patron asking for two CDs by Red Sovine and the DVD from last Sunday's WWE show [really? OK, I'm asking someone about this--we do a lot of extras for her, but last Sunday's...?]
• One of our "Old Favorite" psych....er, patrons is back but SAM won't let him online. I call his new library to make sure he's in good standing with them, and get him sorted
• Fax
• My usual guy who goes out for a smoke can't get back online [if it weren't ludicrous, I'd think he was having me on, doing this just to chat me up]
• "Where's the guy who usually sits here?" [uhm, well, the only guy who sits here is on vacation this week...lol]
• "So I've reached my reading goal--what's my big reward?" [adult--uhm, well, you get to pick another prize out of the same basket you usually pick prizes from...]
• How to print
• [I'm still working on the phone requests for CDs--no one around here has a Red Sovine collection at all]
• I've Been Hacked duded arrives at 1:56...please God don't let him "get hacked in the next 4 minutes!!
