It doesn't happen often. The parking lot in front of the library is nearly deserted. Only 2 cars in sight. One belongs to the person who is opening the gates this morning. I swipe my ID card and enter the back door, shocked by the darkness. I can barely see my mail slot to determine if I have anything to pick up on my way to my office.
The main lights are on and I settle in and check IM to see who is in today. Almost no one. There are only 3 of us. Everywhere I look, dark and empty offices greet my eyes. A lone student slumps at the front desk, weary from rising early to be here, a steaming cup of coffee at her elbow. Not a single patron in sight. Not even a glimpse of anyone wandering about on campus.
Ah, a quiet day. Perhaps I can get some of those long standing projects addressed and off my to-do list! I treasure days such as this. They don't happen often. I determine to make as much progress as I can before the dam bursts and we are back to crazy as usual.
