This isn't really all that interesting of a video but it gives you a little hint of the energy level of my dog. You can also hear my cats screaming for food in the background. Insanity...all day...everyday.
Thanks to Brainy Girl for sending me this article. It's pretty much as true as it gets. The library has been incredibly busy all the time, every day, all day for most of winter. It is a mixed bag. Since the economy is not doing so hot, lots of people are taking advantage of the library's free services. However, since people are having rough times in their lives and we are one of the few free places to go, we often have issues of rude, angry patrons taking their frustrations out on us. It's all part of it and I'm sure that anyone in customer service is experiencing this in one way or another. I am still searching for the best mantra to deal with rude people. I haven't had much luck so far. Suggestions welcome.
On a happier note, we had Round #2 of the Fried Chicken Taste Off. The 4 of us sat down at a fantastic little buffet-style restaurant in Morristown and figured out the exact method of analyzing fried chicken. I will not be unveiling said equation until we have all decided how this information will be used. Blog? Book? Newspaper article? Birdcage lining? Well, none of us have birds so I'm pretty sure we can rule out the latter. We will be enjoying some fried chicken from Nashville in a few months time and hopefully the results will be posted one way or another for all to enjoy.
It's hard to know how to react to this, considering it doesn't really seem that out of the ordinary based on where I work. This did not happen where I work, but I wouldn't put it past the public. The public is weird.
