Friday

What I'm doing between questions: Library Journal and Booklist Starred Reviews (what don't we own--and omg Booklist 39 pages?). Figuring out my annual vacation, because we're due for massive snow this weekend and I want to be anywhere else. A girl can dream, no?

11:00
  • Guest Pass for internet use
  • Help with local paper's mystery photo of the week [last week it was the Boost Mobile store, and another staff member helped him; today it was the Walmart sunburst, so this will make his 3rd week if he 'wins' again]
  • Children's Librarian 'steals' Consumer Reports Auto book [her car is being dumb--and oh, yeah, you CAN get pulled over for not lighting your l.plate (she had no idea!)]
  • Bandaid
  • Verbal directions for printing for guest pass lady
  • Bandaid lady is on her last smidgen of patience and what she wants to do I don't think is possible with a .jpg file on our public computers, so she's going to go home and not think about the fact that she's not getting her "paycheck" (Social Security) this month if D.C. doesn't get its act together
  • Perfume Collector [we don't own, I place a hold and she asks about ebooks, so I go through that with her]
  • Notary? [Circ desk staff, at least two are here today]
  • New card: how to use internet [blah blah blah but he's kind of a woke good ol' boy, so...]
    "Have you read any good books lately?" [30 years in, and this question still makes my brain freeze--I finally suggest The 100-Year-Old Man... and a couple of others]

12:00
  • Finding Your Feet [I reserve it for her]
  • Local storyteller's books [patron's hearing is going, holy crap she's loud and has that weird midwestern twang going on at 150 db)
  • She's back for her sunglasses, left on a shelf somewhere
  • Former babysitter arrives with her baby-daddy and we chat due dates while he does internet things
  • Earbuds and Purell
  • "Do I need to do anything when I'm done online?" [I show him how to log out]
  • Scissors [and back]
  • Purell lady can't get DVD to start on her 'puter [done]
  • Tax forms have arrived

2:00 [in the children's dept.]
