Irony

Sometime in the last couple of weeks, I found out that my library's hours were being halfed. The staff would be moved to other branches and the collection reduced. One person who came in and had talked to the local council person said that the council person had been told that no one goes to our library.

Now about 2 or 3 years ago, we had a gate counter installed. Today at around noon, the counter read at a little over 235,000 counts. Which means about 115,000 people walked in and then out again in the last several years. And we aren't being used.

Not to mention I was just notified that I won an award. And so did my branch manager for our work in the community. How weird is that? I mean, I'm thrilled. It is nice to see that someone recognizes that I am awesome but the timing is just plain off.

Weirdness and wonderful in the same day.

Good night and good night.
