My day...

A friend asked me what my typical day is like. Well, to be honest, no day is like the day before, never typical, never the same. Here's a sample, I hope it doesn't bore you. Today:

• Ordered books in for the Mystery Book Club, they need 15 copies.
• Helped someone get their laptop connected to our wireless. She couldn't log in, all she needed to do was reboot her computer.
• Had homemade vegan birthday cake made for one of our librarians. The cake was made by a staff member, Fresh Orange Cake, icing made with coconut oil.  Yum yum yummy cake!!  Her B-day is actually another day, but she's taking her b-day off and won't be here. Lucky us that we got to share the cake with her.
• Read tons of emails.
• Sent tons more emails.
• Helped a young man make copies on the copy machine. He didn't know how to work it.
• Helped a lady on the copy machine. She said it didn't work, but it did work, it didn't like her nickels.
• Helped a lady log in to our computers. She kept typing her card number in wrong.
• Talked to the custodian about the squirrel that got electrocuted on a power line the other day and blew out our power for about 45 minutes. And I was off that day and missed all the excitement!
• Ordered travel guides for a lady planning a trip to Ireland. All our books were out.
• Let a girl use the phone to make a call because she left her cell phone in the car. Not sure why she couldn't just walk out to the parking lot and get her phone.
• Helped a lady get to a website so she could apply for a job. The website wasn't connecting using Internet Explorer, but it connected just fine using Mozilla Firefox. Not sure why that happens.
• An older lady told me about an article she read in the newspaper about a book, about a child who died and went to heaven and came back to tell about it. She was laughing hysterically about it, she said it was such a crock. Then I told her I had read that book. It's called Heaven is for Real . She stopped talking, looked at me with a serious look on her face and asked, "WHY would you read that?"
• It's almost 3:00pm...3 more hours to go...and I'm so drowsy today...

Have I bored you yet...??

Happy 2012! (a little late)

These were my 2012 Resolutions for work that I wrote down way back in January, but I never published until just now. So far I'm doing pretty well except for one.

1. Blog more frequently.
2. Read more books than ever.
3. Be nicer to the nice customers.
4. Be nice to the mean customers.
5. Learn more about whatever tickles my fancy.

I am a reader....
