Mini-Shift

Hi-ho, A Delgado the Librarian here, reporting to you LIVE from a Saturday afternoon at the reference desk. I'm only working two whole hours today because I spent the majority of the afternoon buying a new/used car. My old one (a 1997 Toyota Corolla) lost A/C last week and every time I started it sounded like something really, really big was just gonna fall out of it. So, I'm now the proud owner of a new-to-me cadet blue 2008 Yaris. Hatchback, y'all because I'm just sassy that way. Why do I care about your new car? you may be asking. Well, after my old car started smoking on the access road on the way to work last week, I was just so bummed about having a car payment that I couldn't post. Sniff. Things are better this week and I've made peace with my car payment.

I haven't done much in my almost-hour at the ref desk. I reshelved a reference book about computer science and helped a student try to figure out a webpage's author for an assignment. That's pretty much it.

OH, I forgot to mention that last week (pre car-smoking) I met with the library director at Concordia about volunteering at their ref desk. She brought me iced coffee and we talked for 2 hours and I start my new volunteer gig tomorrow. I'm excited! I'll let y'all know how things go.
