The desk again







Lately I have been out at the front entry desk of the library for an hour every early evening. I have been telling you all about it here in this very blog, I mean whenever I'm not invading the personal space of butterflies or astounding you with pictures of...

chickens.

I sit here at this desk and wave people into the library. When they leave with a book I say to them:

"Come back when you've read all the words in that one!"

It invariably grows quiet and I watch the flag blow around in the wind outside. Sometimes it rains. Once it rained and I told you all about it.

Sometimes I get real quiet and calm here. Then I see crows screwing around on the antenna of the tall building across the street and I get kind of...

happy.

I've gotta admit, I'm just killing it at this job. They could pay me a fortune to do it and I'd still be worth it.

But the thing is...

I'd even do this job for just what they pay me right now.

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.
