Quiet night

Here I am at the front desk of the library. Maybe I can help someone. Anyone.

Anyone?

Around eight, in the start of March, it can get a little quiet around here, just in spots.

I took $2.50 from a polite man. "Sharp jacket." He said to me. I am wearing an iridescent blue tuxedo jacket that makes me look like I might be sitting in on a jazz session later, or showing people to their tables. I wish I had one of these jackets in red and green too. I thanked him for his compliment and for his money too. His fine is now down to three dollars.

Then it was quiet again. I thought for a while about a lot of things.

Maybe one day I'll tell you about them.

My co-worker showed me pictures of Thailand. They were mostly pictures of fruit. They have a lot of interesting fruits that I've never heard of in Thailand. 

Now I have heard quite a bit about a lot of fruits in Thailand!

It got a little busier. I found a video game disc involving dancing for a library patron. I was very proud to have found it because it was in the wrong place and I had to sleuth to find it. Then I got into a situation where I was loaning out office equipment for awhile, scissors, tape, highlighter, scissors again, a black pen. Then it got quiet again and I tried to write. Then I had to do some math for someone. And before I knew it the night was over.

Now I am home. 

I sat here listening to the night through our windows. I thought about a lot of things.

Maybe one day I'll tell you about them.
