Rough days in library town

 





Another day in library town, where I've worked most of my adult life. My days here runnin' herd on library books for my ruthless County bosses are winding down. I'd like to say some days get pretty rough now that the end of my career is only a year or four away, but there have always been rough days working library town. Mean patrons, capricious bosses, grinding workloads, clueless co-workers, and loads of human vomit, I have seen it all.

Well, maybe not all, just most of it.

Today an old colleague turned manager unceremoniously bumped my little art show and forgot most of what we agreed to about it. So I am now showing some stuff for the first few weeks of April, and then again in July, and it's neither what I wanted, how I wanted it, nor what we talked about. It's very disappointing.

But then, I'm not here to make art. I may have wanted a career at the library being the library jester, the entertainer, and the freelancer, but my job, my real job, is...

It's...

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.
