Oh Happy Day

Our boiler at work BROKE this morning, and will REMAIN broken until at least Friday, which means
1. Sleeping in
2. Wearing jeans to work the next two days (and hats and scarves and gloves)
3. NO patrons
4. Happiness
5. Not staying until close tomorrow night when I would have been supervisor

Librarians get so much done when the library's closed to the public.

And we got to eat lunch together today, which is a special treat that doesn't happen when the Library's open, because a few people always have to work the reference desks and we all have such different schedules. Today, though, most of us took our lunches to the quiet area (where we were very loud) and broke library rules by eating in a public area. I felt kind of naughty -- the way I imagine doctors feel when they get together to smoke cigars and eat bacon and candy sandwiches (which is what happens when the boilers break in hospitals).

Finally, the cold weather has served my purposes. Yay!

Was it like the naughty 'kids' on the back of the bus on your Utah Shakespearean Festival tour? :)

I love me a good bacon and candy sandwich!

Enjoy your day off!

mp--Nope. Entirely different kind of naughty. You're funny.

Emily--Oh, it was better than a day off. It was a day at work without the public. Pure bliss.
