After I had retired from the University, I soon found myself with too much time on my hands. I tried being a temp, but never having been a secretary, I was not very suited for the job. One day, I saw an ad in the paper for a position in circulation at the library. Besides having a masters degree in education, I also was a certified school librarian. So, I decided to apply for the job. Well, lo and behold, I got it. I thought I would stay maybe a year or two. However, I have now been at the library for almost ten years.
I love to work, and I love my job.
I enjoy the patrons. I enjoy seeing people I haven't seen for some time. I enjoy making some of the patrons laugh. I feel rewarded when a patron says I have made their day. I try to always be sensitive to the patrons needs. Unbelievably, I have only had about 6 crabby patrons in all this time.
Oh, I also enjoy my co-workers. Though I am a LOT older than most, I feel a part of the team.
