Went away for a few days.  It’s been over 5 years since my husband and I were alone, together, on a vaca.  I wish I could have stayed at least 2 months!  The Library was here when I returned, happy, it seems, to have me back.  There’s always something to do at the Library! I got a little caught up on MyTenThings.  I haven’t downloaded any pictures cause I don’t have any.  I signed onto Meebo as AliciaT.  Haven’t chatted with anyone.  Again, no time. I printed up the RSS instructions and signed up on Blogline.  But, that’s it for now.  The Circ Desk calls!

Let’s see…about this deal with me and CARL… We needed a “cooling off period.”  I was busy all the time and he was redundant.  Folks who interracted with him were coming back to me saying that they didn’t know all of these “items” were already dealt with and it was really a pain to have gone over someone else’s work and waste all that time.  I felt bad.  Not for CARL, though.  That’s why I had to take a break.  For awhile, some cute, young volunteers where showing up to look him over.  They always said that they could never find him and his stuff, or they hadn’t had enough time to get through his “to-do list.”  Finally, one-by-one, they stopped coming around.  Suddenly, his “to-do list” was on my desk.  I thought I’d clean him up a bit.  But, it seems there were more than one copy of this “to-do” and it became a big “who-hah!”  I wanted to know who was so into CARL’s “to-do” that we needed his business out there in the streets!  I guess I had to realize that CARL isn’t just hooked on me.  See, maybe I should go back to the beginning, and explain my introduction to CARL.  I’ll do that another time.  For now, just suffice it to say that CARL hasn’t been very, very good to me!
