Huh?

Ok, so, we have a gentleman who calls regularly (once or twice a week?) for specific information from a specific website (he knows the URL), and from a specific place on the website (he knows exactly where on the page this info is located). He says, "Please go to U.S. National Debt Clock at http://www.usdebtclock.org/, look toward the middle of the page, under the section that starts with US Gross Domestic Product, then look for Gross Debt to GDP Ratio." "Yes?" I say, "I'm there." "What are those numbers for the Gross Debt to GDP Ratio?" OMG....how do you quote numbers that are going up by the second? I tell him the numbers, and I also sy to him, "The numbers are changing by the second as we speak." I don't know why I bother telling him this, he obviously already knows this. He thanks me politely, then hangs up. It makes me wonder what in the world does he do with that information?

Whew! What a morning! And Afternoon!

Monday is Preschool Storytime at the liberry! Usually we have 19, 23, 12 people, that's parents, grandparents and the wee little ones. Today we had 59!! That's 31 children, from cradle to 6 years old and 28 moms, dads, grandmoms and even one nanny!! And boy was it wild and crazy! I think this liberry is going to have to have another storytime session. I don't think I can handle 59 people every week!

After lunch, my colleague informed me that a Mr. Crankypants was going to come into the liberry for help to edit his Craigslist listing. Mr. Crankypants was angry for lots of reasons. First thing making Mr. Crankypants cranky, his usual liberry closed unexpectedly for plumbing repairs. Second reason making him crankier, his usual liberry didn't change their phone message when they closed so the message was giving out wrong info. Third reason that made Crankypants crankiest was, he had to drive out of his way to come to my liberry (8 min. and 3 miles tops). Fourth thing making him most cranky was there someone at the liberry who could "help him edit"="meaning do it for him" because he didn't know how. *groan* I was not looking forward to Mr. Crankypants coming. When he arrived, Mr. Crankypants was abrupt, and kinda mean, didn't know how to access his Craigslist, and was indeed downright cranky. I helped him, and about 3 other people at the same time. He got his posting changed. By the time he left, he wasn't so cranky anymore, AND I think I had him eating right out of my hand.... ahhh the finesse of a good liberrian...
