Today was a great day. I didn't accomplish everything I set out to, but I made a pretty good effort and I got quite close. I got some training on a new work responsibility, worked a shift at the reference desk, ate lunch with a friend/coworker (froworker?), helped some wonderful ladies shift our journal collection, and got some interlibrary loan orders ready to go. Now it's off to job #2! No, wait, let's go back and bask in the greatness of the day. I got to spend time with some really great people. The guy training me has been so kind to me, my lunch buddy really boosted my ego, 2 tech services lovelies voiced confidence in me and gave me their "seal of approval," and the journal shifting ladies made me feel like such a valued part of their operation. It was truly fantastic!
In a random bit of pet-peevery (is that a word? if it wasn't, it is now!), a lady at my night job removed a standard issue staple from her papers with her teeth. And there was a staple remover right there in front of her, within her grasp. So it looked a little uncomfortable and unneccessary, but to each his (her) own, I suppose. But then, instead of putting the staple in the trash (~2 feet away), she spat it out onto the floor. What fine human specimen do you suppose will get to pick it up? Hmm. It wasn't the end of the world by any stretch of the imaginiation, it was just one of those things that make you go, "Huuuuuhhh? Whaaaaaaa?"
I want to give a shout out of appreciation to Cora Smith. She's the library clerk at my evening job, and a very lovely person. She's also an SIS student. She resigned from her job yesterday, moving on to bigger and better opportunities in another state. She'll get to rejoin family and loved ones, and I wish her the best. Cora, we'll miss you. You are an awesome lady! I wish you success in the future.
Lastly, I want to say how much I adore Aubrey's Cafe. It's one of my favorite places to eat in the whole world. To be fair, there are several locations, and I am not too picky-- I never met an Aubrey's I didn't like. If you are ever in Knoxville, I recommend it. I like the Rooster Grill sandwich with the thick cut potato chips, and I also really enjoy the Rattlesnake Pasta. They have great (and free!) bread and butter to warm you up, too. Try it, and then try telling me it's not wonderful. I dare you! ^_^
