Friday

What I'm doing between questions: checking the Death Dates lists--from August and September this year!--against our catalog.

1:00
  • Blowers are off today so it's deathly quiet out here today; every keystroke can be heard
  • "Does the printer print in color?" from someone with blue lipstick and a lip-ring [yes, if you tell it to, and she's quite nice]
  • I am old: what's this thing with baseball caps that look like they just landed on guys' heads, rather than guys wearing them? It looks ridiculous (also, wearing Miami Dolphins colors--teal and tangerine--is an interesting tribute to people in Florida dealing with Hurricane Matthew)
  • Boss stops by; we may not get the blower fixed till Monday. Yay--I work Sunday. It's like breathing tropical air in here already
  • Guest pass, but suggest he get a library card
  • Help making a photocopy
  • [Operatic Farter is leaving, fartless today]
  • Four leftover ILLs completed. Seriously, why weren't they done by the person who started them??
  • Black Hole Blues [put on hold for him]
  • "Did that last guy have an accent?" as he returns his Ethernet cable...[no...? I don't think so? and here's your card back]
  • How to pay to print
  • [finally starting the Death Dates list...]

2:00
  • dead for 20 minutes
  • [phone] Librarian K asking for the first two Hobbit movies [on his way back from his honeymoon--needs something to do tonight with the kids; I pull them and leave them in his inbox]
  • More paper in printer--woman just printed about 50 pages
  • Help with printing, and then with printing blown-up print job on copier
  • Boss walks through--maybe we'll have blowers before we close
  • Guest pass for internet
  • Staff member's family is visiting, adorable little redheaded granddaughter included
  • Blower tries to start several times...nope
  • And...yes, it's on!! Sounds a bit off, but blowing air!
  • Latest guest pass person asks for a wipe--the keyboard is greasy [ew]; we have Clorox wipes and she takes one\
  • ...and help her print
  • Killing Kennedy [on the shelf--I grin maniacally as she tells me how GOOOOOOD this series is!! Finding the book for her "made [her] day." OK, so not my thing, but it's always fun to have seriously happy patrons]
  • Help with faxing [dude is 5 years younger than me and looks like he's about to keel over]
