A patron came up to me at the front desk of the library. They were checking out two books by the author, Stuart Gibbs, of a series I am currently reading. But before I could comment on this the patron said they wanted to thank me.
Thank me?
Apparently, according to this patron, I was so nice when their car was stolen with ten library books in it, and I was calm and helpful about it. And so every time they see me they really want to thank me. It meant a lot to them at a stressful time.
"Hmmm." I said suspiciously. "Are you sure? That doesn't sound like me at all."
But I said it all a little bit winningly, just in case they were on to something.
"It was definitely you." They seemed awfully confident about it.
So who knows, maybe they were right.

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.
