A Tiny Bit of Complaining

In preparation for a teen program, I made this at work today


with a heat gun (which sounds wicked cool, but actually functions a lot like a hair dryer).

I wish I had a real gun, because Summer Reading is upon us and the library is a zoo. When my mom or sister ask me about work during Summer Reading, I end up yelling, because there is no other way to express the tension headache that is my job in June. Good thing I have vinyl record crafts to soothe me and no ready access to firearms.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm not entirely convinced that I feel good about turning 30.

"Thirty and flirty and thriving." May your thirties bring you adventure and tons of happiness. I am glad you were born; I think you are a great addition to this world! Thanks for being you and for being my friend!

Happy Birthday! I hope you do something fun and momentous in celebration. And FYI dealing with crazy kids and patrons would not fall under that category. ;) Best wishes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to attack library patrons on your birthday.

Your project is super cool. Now I feel guilty about going to the summer reading program tomorrow. Maybe I won't and my son will never learn to read. That will be what you accomplished for your 30th birthday. :)

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I got the day off, so I had a lovely, rage-free b-day.

Eliana--Go to summer reading, just stay away from any reference desks.

James--Oh, we will celebrate my birth when you get here.
