It was an....interesting day at work. Due to holiday backups, we had no book delivery or pickup since the day before Thanksgiving. I had four full bins ready to go out and late yesterday afternoon the courier arrived to pick them up and to deliver four full bins for me. It all had to be processed before I left for the day. This kind of backup leaves me with some real concerns for the Christmas and New Years weekends. It really cuts into our hopes of providing decent service to patrons.But that's out of my hands. I left the evening crew to call patrons about their book arrivals and we'll see what awaits me this morning when I go in.
I had hoped for some sewing time in the evening and hoped I could get a couple gifts completed. Instead I discovered I had screwed something up which will require STARTING COMPLETELY OVER on one item. That was it for me. I stomped upstairs and spent the rest of the evening glowering and watching Cold Case Files and Mystery Diagnosis.
But I had a thought about how to do something better, so hope springs eternal this morning. Meanwhile there's a day to put in at the library.

When I used to work in a library I used to hate it when everything backed up at holiday times. Especially the inter library runs. Glad your day ended on a positive note with a good idea!
and to think the grief you used to give me for watching police and investigation shows! hmpf!
