annundrielPretty good day, except for the part where I had to be a tiny bit of a bitch at work. But only in the nicest way possible! We can't check things out to students/faculty/alumni unless we have photo ID of some sort and this guy came in and wanted a book but he'd lost his school ID and didn't have his wallet with him. He was in on Monday night and I helped him then. Tonight he's like, "But you remember me?" and I told him yes, but I still wasn't supposed to check anything out to him. Thankfully he didn't get mean about it. I felt bad about it though. He ended up getting a friend to check it out for him.
And the thing is, I would be willing to make exceptions for people I had helped before and talked to, but chances are they would end up coming in some other time when I'm not there and tell whoever was working (probably the boss) that so-and-so had let them check material out without an ID. And then I'd be given a strict talking to and that would not be fun.
Someone in the Summit program checked out Spacetime & Geometry today and I read a little about zero-point energy. Because it was an introductory book, it didn't all go right over my head, which was nice. I think I may actually understand the concept of ZPMs on Stargate a little bit better now. Not that I would ever be able to explain it.
I wrote a drabble today. Well, rewrote it. I wasn't completely happy with the original, so I tweaked it. Then it was too long, so I tweaked it in other ways until it was an hundred words. Now I'm happy with it, though I like the slightly longer one a little better. But I like this drabble thing I'm trying out to get me to write again/some more. It's a length I can deal with (for now anyway) and keeps me doing my own writing thing. I always feel better on the days I write something, more accomplished.
Meanwhile, Traders is apparently eating my brain. In the past two days, I've had dreams where the particulars are fuzzy, but definitely featured the characters.
