First Day Back to Work and a New Book to Read!

Yes, it is my first day back after the holidays and it was somewhat of a relief! I had been sick for so long and completely inactive that I had become quite bored. School was just what I needed. There was a real buzz from the students and staff, along with lots of work to do! First of all, I had to tidy up the library which I had obviously deserted on the last day of school at 3:30. Looking back, I remember how anxious I was to leave and that when two students came in at 3:15 expecting to do some work on the computers I laughed! They were a little put out, I think. Nonetheless, I sent them packing, and locked up!

I managed to get a great many little jobs done...the minutia of my working life! As some may know, I am constantly complaining about my life being taken over by the minutia of the library. Today, however, I really enjoyed doing the little jobs. I managed to tick off so many and so quickly that it felt very satisfying!

Bed calls and I must go but on a final note, I have just started Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell, a Swedish detective fiction writer and creator of the character Wallander. His books are a great read if anyone is looking for something new!

This is funny..how many snow days came after this first day back to school? Snow days, some kind of belated Christmas gifts?
