Work and Wine

Hello,

My work has been crazy busy. There is a garage sale this weekend sponsored by the library. On Tuesday we had a donut sale. Between those two items with people registering for a sale and buying donuts there were 115 people in the library in just seven hours. I sincerely hope I kept everything straight as some people wanted to deal with both things. I was alone for three hours and I think that was the busiest of the entire day. I was happy to go home when done.

Today was also rather busy. Many people came in to pick up their garage sale map which had been promised tomorrow. People do not read or remember everything they have read as many did not know they were a day early until we told them. Some were a little irritated that the maps were not ready, but registration just ended last night. So there really had not been a lot of time to get everything in place.

There is new software for the ILL procedure. I had had no warning or training on this, but my boss was gone last Tuesday so after two calls to the state library and one to a neighboring library I finally figured out quite a lot of what I needed to do order books and to process requests. I must have new brain cells after all of that learning.

Leroy was given some wine for Christmas. We had thought we would have some company who would help us drink it. But that did not happen so it is still with us. Last night in the middle of the night when I was having a wakeful period I had the idea that Leroy and I would just drink a glass each for the next few days and deal with the rest by dumping it or cooking with it. When queried this morning, Leroy agreed as he too wants it gone. Tonight when we tried to open it we realized we did not have a way to extract the cork. Luckily our downstairs friends had such an appliance, but they too did not want to help us drink the wine as they do not drink it either, but at least they are prepared for any eventuality.
