On a night where the dire thunderstorms were rolling in it was just me and Dan for the evening. This is traditionally considered an emergency level of staffing. But fortunately it was busy, wait, no, back that up. It was unfortunate that it was busy. Also Dan likes to take breaks, and he is very committed to them.
So there I was at the front desk and with no one in the back room and, well, with no one anywhere. A line had formed and I was also answering phones. The young people I work with don't understand that this is how things always used to be around here, back in the 90's and early aughts. Now it was just... nostalgic. I mean, I was putting people on hold. I was helping multiple people at a time. It was all happening!
I even picked up the phone while everyone was needing help and there was a deaf person on the phone!
It was okay though. They had an interpreter cause I can't use my sign language over the phone speaker.
Also I don't know sign language.
After what felt like hours of weather alarms, when the storm finally started, everyone disappeared, but Dan showed up, so that was nice.
He was bidding on a scroll saw on his phone.
He didn't win.

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.
