tekiila over and sleeping on the sofa bed turned out to be quite fun. :-) She even got a job now! An honest to goodness librarian job! So brilliant! So happy for her. :-D She was a bit stressed out since well... School, moving, new job... I can understand that. But we had a good evening relaxing and watching a shit ton of crime shows on TV and talking old memories from the student union pub... Was wonderful!
Then Thursday hit. Holy shit it did.
I had to be there a bit early.... And then I had FOUR story times in a row, almost... Only about 30 mins between each... and they took about 30mins each to. During the breaks in between I went out to all the other classes to inform them about the Summerbookclub that the library has.
The kids has to read 8 books, and make small notes about them in a small booklet. When school starts, they show the booklet to prove they've read 8 books (the parents are involved in this, of course and puts a signature under each title). If they've managed to read all 8 books, they get an invitation to a party! And this year, we even managed to invite a secret guest to said party.... Oooh, mystery! :-D
So thats the info I ran around with during that day + those four storytimes. To say I was beat BEFORE we opened the library at 1pm would be an understatement. Then at around 1.30pm the library was INVADED by kids! GEEZ! So many kids! And they all had more questions about the Summerbookclub, how many books they had on there librarycards, to borrow the computer... how long before it was their turn to borrow the computer... how many more books they could borrow... And could I give them a book tip? And all of them wanted attention NOW! What? Stand in line... NAAAAH! So it was hectic. VERY hectic. For both me and my boss / colleague. At 4pm when we closed the library we were exhausted. Seriously exhausted.
During that evening there was not much reading on the net done, let me tell you. In fact I went to bed as early as around 10pm. o.O Unheard off! I usually go to bed around 11pm - 12pm. :-P
Today though I have just relaxed. I have short days at work so it was all good. :-)
I have worked 30 hours a week now since January at that school with all them troublesome kids. It has been good, interesting, inspiring, tough and learning. My first real job as a librarian, and I have learned so, so much. I'll most definitely miss it.
Next week I'll only work 20 hours a week. Both a little bit at that school-library and at the bigger library. After school ends, I'll only be working at the bigger library for 20 hours a week during June and July. Then, come August... We'll see. I have NO idea what'll happen then, but I am looking positively at the future. :-)
And randomly... My cat! X-D I've tried to take a photo of my cat Verdandi when she sits like this soooo many times! But as soon as she sees the camera she moves around and the moment is lost. But TODAY! Today I caught her! HA! Her sister Skuld doesn't sit like this, just Verdandi does. She sits back on her ass, leaning in the couch when she washes her tummy... or her hindlegs, holding on to them to reach. It looks bloody hilarious, especially considering she is quite the fat cat. ;-)
