Another day in a year of happiness

Too happy, too happy to blog everyday.  Once retired I thought I would have lots of free time.  Got a special phone call from a special person and promised to work for a few days.  Never thought I would cross that threshold again.  Our district merged several schools and the brunt of the chaos falls on the librarian's shoulders.  ONce the hundreds of books are boxed and labeled they need to be set-up again at the next facility.       Oh! My!  too much for one person.      So, I am helping.      The librarian must discard the old crummy books.:  and run them through the computer to remove from catalog.  Then new books have to come out of hundreds of boxes of books:  so old icky books can go in them to be trucked away.  But, before these new books can be placed on shelves:  they have to run through a computer: bar code created,  printed and placed on new book.   Then they can go to shelves.  Time consuming and tedious.  By 9:30 I was drinking coke.  By 10:05 I went to my favorite secretary and asked for extension cord and boom box.  Oh my:  In 8 hours w/ no breaks!  I was only able to process and put away 1 cart (4 shelves of a bookcart) of books.  These poor librarians.  Good thing we have a principal and director who care for their employees.  Check back tomorrow for rules of engagement once you retire.  And, I bet you thought the good fairy put a library together....
