I’m totally stuck on this week’s web assignment.  There are several (as in more than two) parts that I can’t get to work and worse, haven’t a clue how it works anyway.  So lab tomorrow night is going to be rough.  I think there will also be more people than usual attending the lab as apparently this one was more difficult for most people. 

Meanwhile I spent three hours this morning and early afternoon working at one of the library branches, renumbering children’s fairy tales.  This branch has only a tiny work space, so I did my thing sitting out on the refrence desk, which of course meant I got a few reference questions along with the mindless renumbering project.  The second half of my time there I was sharing a desk with a Youth Librarian.  She handled all the questions, and as she was working with an elderly woman who had several books she wanted to find, I marveled at how well she did with the sometimes crotchety, sometimes preachy patron.  Then I realized that the calm good humor she used with children worked equally well with older people.  A good lesson to learn.
