Things:

- Made chicken empanadas this morning before work. Alas, they are for Christmas Eve dinner, so I don't get to eat any till then.

- This morning, when I got the library, I turned the heaters on. This necessitates climbing up on a chair. During which, my skirt ripped. Fortunately, it is a small rip, near the bottom. I have temporarily mended it with tape and either no one has noticed or they've all been kind enough not to comment.

- Earlier today, I checked in a book about President Garfield and Charles J Guiteau. I have had the relevant song from Assassins stuck in my head ever since. I can't tell yet if that's annoying or not. (Well, the fact that I don't have the soundtrack on my mp3 player currently is annoying, yes...)

- The number of people who log onto the library computers, open Internet Explorer, look at the library website, and then call me over because they can't figure out "how to get on the internet" never fails to astound me. I'm hoping the coworker who called me over to help just didn't want to deal with the problem, rather than also not understanding what the address bar/search box is for.

On that last point, even odds on the co-worker not knowing, the patron not listening to them, or the co-worker just not wanting to deal with it.

In our case, though, it's usually the people who sit down at the catalog-only computers and then complain that they can't get to their e-mail. Once the sign is pointed out to them (the one they should have read in the first place), all is usually well.
