You take me the way I am

So work was tough yesterday and good today. Today I got to go to MAX for a meeting. It meant getting to see all my good friends there. There is such a different attitude there. I think it is a mix of the staff and the patrons and how glad and appreciative they are. I really love them all.

Afterwards I got to another library to take some pics of staff who had won awards. I told K about J putting me in for an award on a particularly down day. Even if I don't win, I still appreciate someone seeing my efforts and recognizing them. I could win an award for my stubbornness. And it isn't sticking up for anything normal. It is weird stuff.

And then I came back to the branch to work on magazines. You would think it would be a boring job. But I actually like it. It is something I haven't done before. And those tasks are really few and far between for me. I usually know or pick it up really quickly. This took a bit to get used to.

I've got most of my thanks cards out now. I have to get an address or two for a couple more and I was going to call M plus a card since I have been a horrible best friend. I haven't called her in so long.

So only 10 and a half hours of being in charge. Thank goodness. I am anxiously awaiting getting back to doing just children and teen stuff. Huzzah.


Good day and nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion...

Pleased as Punch

I am not sure where the phrase originated from but I saw an example this morning. D and H came by to show off their new rides. They both got motorcycles (okay so one was a scooter but still wicked cool). They both seem really just genuinely pleased. I really loved seeing them so happy.

I have been slow to recover from a bad cough and some back problems. I have a really hard time relaxing and not doing things around the house. But by not relaxing and taking it easy, I just make it harder on myself. It is just so hard to let go and kick back. It is hard learning to lean on anyone even my hubby. I am used to be the one that could be depended on. Not the other way around.

Okay, so I've been having fun. Filling out forms to change my name is fun. I have to list all the places I've lived since birth. I actually have to use another piece of paper to get them all listed. LOL I've never considered it before. It was super surprising. It is a little hard to think about being another name. My initials will be EMH. LOL When I first told B that he got excited. He was thrilled to have a wife with the initials for Emergency Medical Hologram off of Star Trek Voyager :P I love him but he is nuts :D

Good day and what is the nature of your medical emergency?

Evey's Believe it or Not...

It's not the life that doesn't let me blog. It is the work. For the week and a half, I have had to take on management duties on top of my normal childrens and teen work. It has stressed me out something fierce.

I don't truly want to manage. I love doing the childrens work. But I am good at it. Or at least I think I am. I used to have my staff do anonymous evals on me and they said I was good too. I am good at picking out where I am not good as well.

I have always been able to see where I need some more work. I am a masterpiece... but only sort of. I am a work done by Leonardo Da Vinci... but at age 4 : )

There is a scene in Hook where they are trying to figure out Robin Williams character. One little boy takes his face and then smooths it all out and says "Oh there you are, Peter." I feel a bit like that today. Under this management, stressed out, sick with a cold, is me, Eve.

Married life is good. The one downside current is no license. I need it to come in so I can begin the name change. Otherwise, life that way is good. B. is just great. He let me sleep until 11 pm last night when I came home early with the cold. It did me a world of good. Though I have been having odd dreams. Last night, I dreamed that I was in Paris helping a friend with his grandmother's recipe for chocolate puffs. And there was some sort of conference going on. It was cool to walk around Paris with B.

Good day and bonjour!
