Friday... Oh my gawd, where to even begin?

Well, to be honest i started Thursday already. Doing a few hours in the public library closest the school I find out that the day after, Friday, me and two other school librarians are to meet up and discuss the reading program for the summer holidays so all will be planned and done.

Crap. I'd already made plans with two teachers to have one class come borrow books and to visit another class. And it was my turn to bring in the Friday FIKA muffins...

Stressing already on Thursday I make sure I have the car the next day.

Friday morning I wake up stressed out. Get Alexandra to daycare without any issues, since she is in a moderately good mood these days (she got new pink wellington boots). Hurry back home and pack up the car. Hurry to work, get the FIKA muffins set up, so anyone can grab one whenever they decide to FIKA. Hurry around the school and find both teachers to reschedule. Class borrowing books coming to the library right away first thing when their class started. And then get to the public library for the meeting. I was only 20mins late. I still can't believe I managed that. And to make it worse one of those school-librarians are a whiny bitch, to be quite honest. The smallest thing is a huge struggle for her and she will let you know. Loudly. And then laugh about it. And then whine again. I just can't with that woman. Unfortunately she's the librarian of the school library closest to mine, so... I have to work with her on occasion. Pisses me off, to be honest.

And to think the rest of the day was calm? *LOL* No. I was still stressed the hell out with that start to my day.

So I was supposed to go to the rescheduled class, and when I get there I find out I can't talk to the class right then because they have to discuss these tests that all schools in Sweden do, so no librarian is welcome right then. And I had to reschedule when my schedule for next week already is so insane I just can't with it.

If someone tells me working as a librarian is calm and relaxing I'm going to punch them in the face.

Gladly today has been relaxing and calm. Alexandra wanted to visit her grandmother, MIL. So we did that and I love my MIL. I really do. We talked for nearly three hours straight, if not more. (Yes, I did complain a bit about Peting, her son. And she agreed with me. *LOL* Felt good.)

I'm caught up with F-list now, but not with my inbox. Holy hell, people! o.O I might have to cut a bit in my f-list if this continues, because I won't be able to keep up. I'll give it a few days, but yeah... we'll see. :-) If any of you need to do that as well, feel free to. I don't mind at all. :-)

Wow... I am really getting back into this LJ-thing, aren't I? It just feels really damn GOOD! :-D Like I'm coming home. Which, you know... It basically is. *checks* My first entry was posted in December of 2003. Damn... o.O Could say I've spent a significant part of my time here.

Work has been good today. REALLY lazy, so I got in some fanfic reading in the midst of it. :-) Well, not 'normal' fanfic reading. I did, what I call it, my 'commenting-thing'. Where I read through a fanfic before it's finished or made official and see what makes sense and what makes no sense etc. Can't be a proper beta, because well... swedish. Plus I suck at grammar in my own language, so having me as a proper beta would just be a disaster waiting to happen. *LOL* Apparently this 'commenting-thing' is popular, since I have done it for three writers. Currently "only" doing it for two. :-) It's A LOT of fun though, or I wouldn't be doing it.

Had some really cute encounters with kids/teens at the school today. :-) I mean, I know this is one (of two) of the most troublesome schools in the city, but that doesn't mean that ALL kids are hooligans. There's some seriously AWESOME kids in this school, from ALL OVER the world. And that is pretty neat. And the best part of this job, to be quite honest. I learn SO MUCH! Also, both headmasters are very pleased with what I've done so far. And rumors has it that my predecessor/previous eccentric colleague won't be coming back. Which means, this library will be mine. *SQUEEE!!!* :-D

Future is looking fucking bright, if you ask me. ;-)

And to finish this post off, as I do from time to time, I'll share stuff I've found online.

First off I give you this. From this Christmas somewhere in the US. I'm always amazed at how much time US-people spend on the light on their houses. This was pretty cool though, and I know my kid would have peed herself with joy over this, the fangirl that she is. :-D

This I found hilarious. I live in a straight relationship as it were, so couldn't even imagine. How on earth can people actually say this? It's just... nuts.

On a bit more somber note, this is both disturbing and interesting all in the same time. Because really, only women is beaten, right? Wrong...

This on the other hand made me laugh. All big hearty belly laugh, as it were. :-D And perfect for International Woman's Day!

Talking off International Woman's day... I give you some kick ass strong women in comics. And I ain't talking super hero comics. I'm talking Elfquest, best comic ever made. And this article tells you just why you should read it... if nothing else for the awesomeness that is the female characters in said comic.

And... Now I need to go to bed. New day to strangel hooligan kids tomorrow. ;-)

Oh! And lastly, those coming over from 'that meme'... WELCOME! I'll do an about my post tomorrow! PROMISE! :-D Glad to have you here!
