I cannot remember a winter break when we have been so short staffed. I feel obliged to take as many hours of duty during break as I can because I have been out of sync lately with all the kidneystone stuff and soon a chemo coming up. Even our students have been very slow to commit to desk hours. Usually we have kids who really need the money, but this year they are also working off campus jobs and have to wait until their hours are set at their second jobs.
Wow. I generally don't sign up for Sundays because I spend half a day working at church and it just seems like a lot to come to the library after that and do more stuff. But I am happy to do that this week. I suspect there won't be many people in the library. Not much reference work to take care of. I am so grateful to be able to do things.
The weather is wonderful. Blue skies, sun. People are taking advantage of the unusual weather rather than being stuck inside. I am happy to be the one inside today, making up for lost time. I find in the quietness I can participate in some online church services. This is a nice bonus. I do feel a bit guilty not doing something constructive for the library, but I will get to that in the upcoming weeks after chemo, I am certain.
