Bookmarks

So, I found this page that has "cool bookmark designs," and thought I'd share. My favorite is the bookmark lamp. I seriously need one of these. Too bad my birthday's past already.

Flying Solo

I must be doing well with my new job.

I must be doing well, because they have me running a tiny branch for a couple weeks ALL BY MYSELF! It's all me. No one else. Scary.

Ok, well, I do have the phone-a-friend lifeline if disaster strikes. But still, for all the everyday things, I'm by myself. And I have been out here by myself for the past couple days now and everything has run smoothly. No angry patrons. At least, not yet. I hope I can keep it that way.

I've done a little organizing. I put the DVD cases in rough alphabetical order (all the movies starting with 'A' grouped together and so forth). Now I'm working on the discs.

I've helped people find stuff. Today, a lady was looking for some I Spy books and we found where those are. Yesterday I scoured the catalog for a book about haunted houses for this little boy. That was fun.

I've had some interesting conversations. Old people like to talk, I've learned. And they have opinions about everything.

Right now, this is a temporary situation. But it's not so scary as I thought it was going to be. And I've even enjoyed myself at times. It is rather intimidating to think that there's really no one I can pass the buck to, but I've handled it so far. I don't know if I've handled it well, but I have handled it.

And I do kinda like the drive out here. I get to drive over the mountain and through rural Alabama, which is quite pretty, even in the brown month of February.
