A patron came up to front desk and she was singing the
praises of one of our children’s librarians. She wanted to know where she could
write a comment extolling her virtues to our manager. I showed her, but there
weren’t any comment forms there so I got her some. She filled out the form for
awhile and then praised the librarian some more to me. “She’s so great, isn’t
she? I just want her to get credit for being so great. She’s always so helpful
to me and has been for years.”
She finished filling out her form. Then she said “Thank you.
You too have always been so kind and helpful to me here too. You’ve been here a long
time, haven’t you?”
“Yes.” I said.
“I should fill out one of these forms for you too!” She
exclaimed.
“Aww.” I replied humbly “You don’t need to do that.
So she didn’t.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
