Spinning worsted weight is extremely satisfying in that I am already done with this skein.

( Here it is! )

Now I just have to wait until I get the contrast yarn and then I can knit my eldritch eyeball mittens.

Practically my first library interaction of the day:

I walked away from the front desk for maybe a minute and turn around to find a patron* behind the desk at our staff boookshelf**, leaning over the staff schedule, so close that his nose is practically touching it.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE???





*One of the ones who has several weird and annoying habits and who always puts me on edge anyway.

**Our desk is floating away from a wall and is kidney bean shaped, so patrons often just come right up behind my shoulder anyway. We have no storage in the desk (plus it's too small for necessary circulation tasks), so there's a wee shelf behind us with reference items, ILLs, discs for video games, various other confidential things that we nonetheless need on the floor, and the staff schedule. It is an extremely stupid arrangement but we were forced into it when we got our new building and can't get either a new desk or a cabinet with doors that indicate that the BOOKSHELF IS NOT FOR PATRONS. So instead, I constantly have people walking behind me trying to look at things that they shouldn't look at and steal my stapler.
