My quota

 





Early in a busy morning at the front desk of my library, a library patron was looking for a book that the computers said was on hold for her. It had come in recently for her and she couldn't find it.

"I will track this book down for you if it's the last thing I do!" I declared with an early morning passion for library work.

It was on the cart behind me. I checked it out to her.

"Thank you." The patron said. "You all are always so helpful at this library."

"I'm glad it worked out because that's the last thing I will do."

The patron shrugged. What was that to them.

They got theirs.

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.
