I guess I haven't had much to say lately. No complaints, no whining. Although yesterday when I came home from work I actually had to have a glass (or two) of wine after my day working the Children's Desk. Lucky me, the first day of spring break...
Just reinforces why I did not become a Children's Librarian. I like good kids well enough but misbehaving ones are a different story. There were a couple of kids there, maybe 9 and 5. Their mother was apparently in the building, upstairs at a meeting. So they were having a grand old time, playfighting, dragging our newly cleaned & repaired bug cushions around the department by their eyestalks & antennae, playing hide & go seek, etc. No books were involved or damaged. By the 3rd or 4th time I went to talk to them I was getting pretty impatient. Trying not to be the grumpy old librarian but it wasn't easy. I finally said if I had to talk to them one more time we'd be looking for their mom and making them leave. "Good for you!" said one old grandpa who was walking by.
On the other hand the day went by really quickly!
