We got a new play kitchen set for the children's room. It's ADORABLE. It will absolutely be broken within the next week. 😂😭

Me: I have so much to do this week. Also Me: I would probably be more productive if I repotted all the library plants on the back counter. RIGHT NOW.

Aw, look at the little kiddos playing with the toys in the toddler playpen. [Gets closer and hears] "Arrrrgh! This bear will rip off your arms! AND THEN YOUR FACE." #librarylife #thatgotviolentfast #dang

"I really like the library's air freshener, but I can't find it on Amazon or Walmart." . . . "So, are you going to steal it?" #OverheardConversations

I get it, my coworkers are doing their jobs. And I appreciate them and their work. But also, what are you thinking handing me a big project an hour before I leave on a FRIDAY? #CoastingTime #TGIF #NoBrainpowerLeft

Nothing like getting assigned tasks that mean you have to go hunt down staff in departments you're not a part of. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

At today's staff meeting: "Make sure if you don't understand, you ask clarifying questions." Also: "We need you to start looking for answers on your own before asking other people because we're getting asked too many questions." #WTH 🚩

The best part of the workday? Showing up to a smorgasbord in the break room. By sheer coincidence, a whole bunch of people brought food, so we have muffins, donuts, cookies, a veggie tray, and oranges. Time to feast! #LibraryForTheWin

BossMan: "How would you like to attend a three-hour training tomorrow morning!" Me: ". . . Can I not? I had other things I wanted to get done." B: "It wasn't a question. :)" #ThenWhyDidYouAsk? #LibraryLife #Okay

A kiddo came in for storytime today DRESSED TO THE NINES. Princess dress, earrings, heels, the whole bit. 🥰 I'm glad that we're a fancy occasion. #librarylife #fun

Weird questions: I had not one but two of my coworkers demand to know how long I would be in when I clocked in today. It's the same hours I always work. Why do you care? And can you say hello first? #sketchy

Coworker: "I wish there was more to do today. I'm just so jittery and I have so much energy!" Me: Do you think the energy drink you downed on an empty stomach an hour ago has something to do with how you feel?

BossMan reads the sign for staff with instructions on how to use the new coffee maker in the kitchen. ". . . That doesn't apply to ME though!"

Me: "Why is this book on the withdraws shelf? We just got it a year or two ago!" **Checks date** 2015. "Oh." 😱😬💀

We were supposed to be open until 6PM tonight. We were so dead all afternoon, the supervisor on call this weekend (1) fell asleep at the desk and (2) had us close early because she was SO BORED. I mean, I'm not mad. 😁

"Are you asking me to math? I don't do that, especially during an evening shift." #LibraryLife

I put in earbuds this afternoon so I can focus on my work. Little did I know that I was announcing to the universe that everyone at the library needed to come talk to me IMMEDIATELY.

Kid 1: 🎶"I'm a poop, I'm a butt, I'm a poopy poopy butt!" 🎶 Kids 2 & 3: Laugh uproariously Good to see how some things never change. #AfterSchoolAdventures #DeskShift

I love telling people that we don't have late fees. Just bring the books back and we're good! (Undamaged, of course) #librarylife #goodthings

BossMan was gone all day. Patrons were few and quiet. And yet, my coworkers were complaining about being bored. SHUT UP THE UNIVERSE CAN HEAR YOU. #daybeforethanksgiving
