I've had five, count 'em FIVE, glorious days off work for the holidays. Today is the fifth day. I had grand plans of sleeping in, watching a movie, and doing absolutely nothing. But, here I am, working. I'm sure there is a window to clean or a surface to dust in my house somewhere. Yet, somehow I cannot stay away from the library. It just so happens that I've got things to do.
We're getting ready to roll out a new website in less than a week, and there are links to check, photos to upload, and lots of text to proofread. Over the past five days, it's been in the back of my mind. As we prepared the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, the library's new website was in the back of my mind. When we settled in to watch a movie on Christmas night, the library's new website was in the back of my mind. Even when we took Big Dan on a long walk around the Upper Fall Creek Loop, the library's new website was in the back of my mind.
I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. In a way, I think it's great that I've found something that I'm passionate about. I care. I want things to be just right so that our patrons can delight in all that we have to offer. And, yet there is another part of me that wants to let it go...just for a day, a holiday, or a special meal.
Then again, it's been five days, and I'm ready to get back to it.
