libraries work

Like a snow day, flipped

So today was my first full day working at the Tumwater Library. I tried my best not to be nervous about it, but in the end the fear of the unknown and the fear of failure combined their powers, and I shook a bit in the car on the way to work (reminded me of the first day at a new school; or any day in Middle School, for that matter). I started off the day by training with my supervisor in the new Library software we’ll be using, come mid-January. It was a breeze, and killed a few hours. Then I went to lunch at the DQ (yeah, I know, but I’m not supersized yet), and came back with a renewed confidence. The rest of the day was spent shelving, for the most part, and wishing I could stop shelving and just read all the neat books that caught my eye (the torture of working in a library). We closed up at five, and I boogied home to relax. Later I get to go eat some home-made lasagna. MMmMMmmmm … lasagna.
