I feel better because I know how to catalog and there is a mountain of cataloging to be done. We can do it ourselves IF ALL the girls work on it 24-7 for a little while. It is not as daunting as it once seemed. We need to clean out the storage room, get those books labeled, cataloged and on the shelves AND I also need to learn how to order materials AND figure out what my budget is.
Wednesday or any day I work by myself is all about helping patrons and cataloging in-between that time. There must me a commander's call at the theater because ALL my library spaces are taken AND I had to park by the bank. It is almost 12:30 and they are still there. I thought the cars would be gone by now. No such luck.
I just read about Pres. Bednar's recent address to students at BYU-Idaho. It included a warning appropriate to me.
“A warning is most needed when we do not think we need to be warned,” he added.
He encouraged those who were listening to examine their lives and seek to correct any intellectual arrogance, lack of gratitude, entitlement or self-absorption. He called these “insidious spiritual flaws” that develop subtly within a person.
I like how he calls them insidious spiritual flaws. Unfortunately these are things I fall prey to too often. I saw a Facebook post saying we should surround ourselves with people who are inspired, grateful and happy. Definitely!!! I returned to EMZ Monday. I thought I'd be hanging at first but I'm not. I can work out harder. I need to do that. My calves don't feel tight because I've been using the calf sleeves I bought as well as using the roller I found at TJ Maxx. I'm getting hungry. Time to make some noodles or lasagna.
I ate noodles AND lasagna-it was a frozen dinner lasagna from the dollar store. It was just alright. Now that I know how to do more things here it is easier to work here without feeling overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done.
