it is 10:37pm.
do you know where your librarian is??

long days seem to be in my future.
someone leaves, and things need to be filled in.
guess i am the filler.
not sure if that is bad or not.
feels odd being here now and not at home.
wish i felt good about it but i will suck it up and deal
after all, you can do anything for a week, right??

or maybe not.
being here at night is very different.
people ask other questions...like.....what time do you close
or
can i print
or
how do you cite MLA??

but no rush, i'll get the answer and it will be grand.
but when i get home, only the kitties will be up.
going to be a lonely cup of bedtime tea.

april is poetry month

i wish i could write poems like i once did
i could write anything, anytime and it made sense
at least to me!
but not any more
i have trouble placing one letter after another
i was told by a psychic i should write to get the energy out
i should write to let the anger out'
i should write to let the fear out
but i am to tired, not angry enough or too angry
and always frightened.
does that mean i have already written enough??

spring break cannot get here

even though we don't get the days off, it is still so wonderful to have spring break.
the kids go away, or at least most of the do, the parking lots open up, and there is a fun atmosphere in the air.
people have longer lunches, in some cases that means having lunch at all. plans for coffee or a walk around campus start happening too. our own little spring break rituals.
plus, i get off early! i have to fight traffic but i get home in time for dinner at 6 not dinner at 7:30.
the feeling that we just might survive till school is over returns.
things get finished during spring break or things get started. since we have a move coming up over the summer, spring break is time for...wait for it....spring cleaning! old files, by-by. dumb stuff i never use, by-by. books i have not used for many a year, by-by. by the time school kicks back in, i may have, no i WILL have a tidier office. just so i can move to a smaller space. oh boy.
but still, spring break has its good points.
just hope yoga is not canceled.
