Library Day...
I had a day at the library...!!
I forgot my library badge/ID at home :/
I was literally pulling up the pull list and something strange happened. The electricity in the library flickered, the computers all frozen and even the emergency doors at the main reference area slammed shut. Here's the problem, I was in the middle of doing the pull list and once you've pulled up the pulled list you cannot lose it or it disappears till the next morning (the list repopulates overnight for some reason). It is some strange quirk in the software so I was pretty anxious when it happened. Everyone started trying to restart the computers and library check out areas and I told them to stay away from my computer and that I was hoping it would just unfreeze. After about 10 minutes everything came back online and I was able to get the pull list...phew.
So I was already behind with the pull list computer situation. About 5 minutes into doing pulls for picture books I noticed a really big problem on the shelves. The books in a certain section were all over the place. Completely out of alphabetical order but in organized chaos which means that it is the our fault and not just some patron putting a book back in the wrong place. I had to get help to figure out what to do and take some photos to send to my boss. Another 10 minutes lost...
Then the day just continued with me dropping my clipboard numerous times along with running a cart into a bookshelf which isn't a big deal except both are REALLY loud in a very quiet environment. And I dropped my library card by circulation when I was checking out a hold...le sigh...
