POP Sunday

Well, nothing too exciting today. Working in POP...doing a lot of phone number lookups and transfers. Circ sounds like they're having fun...heard music? and laughter (dm) earlier. I'm just jealous, Kathy and I don't want to be here...it looks nice outside! Home and Garden show is going on at the Knight Center. I'm so pathetic that the highlight of my Sunday is that one of the regular patrons (with major issues) said I "did good" while I was answering his reference question (which consisted of looking up the tv schedule that he had in front of him; wanted me to give him more information...like read to him the tv episode summary). Last time he said I was "lazy", hence why I was happy that this time I got a "did good". :-) To defend myself, I was trying to cut the conversation short last time, because the tv show that he was asking the summary of scares him so I was trying to avoid describing the shows to him...public libraries you gotta love them!

Oh...I guess the music was a recital going on in the auditorium...maybe circ isn't having any fun either today! :-(
