The librarian contacted me and said the board was OK to open up the library for the night shift (5 p.m. - 7 p.m.). Would I man the desk on Tuesdays? That shift used to be on Wednesday nights. Since the pandemic the library had been open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and Tuesday, Thursday afternoons - I think. Seemed I was always trying to get a book and finding the door locked. I balked at messing around w/ the public again by changing the day for the night shift. Then I thought about it. In truth, I was rather liking this new non-contact way of life. I saw the people I wanted to see but had a built-in excuse to not attend functions or talk w/ people. Life had become very laid back and that probably wasn't good for me long term. I could see a future where I resembled a mountain-man surrounded by cats. (Shudder) So I let the librarian know I would work Tuesdays. However, I mentioned that I couldn't when I was a poll worker and also gave her some other Tuesday dates I had already made committments for. She suggested changing it to Thursday nights. So tonight I went in to work at the library. Nobody came. Guess library duty won't be all that bad.
