ups and downs

dragonimpMy mood has been yo-yoing like crazy the last few days. The downswings were over something that was ultimately my own damn fault, which only makes it worse.
Work was a merry bedlam yesterday morning. Gotta love the summer reading game. There was a significant stretch of time where I was the only person at the desk, having to deal with reference questions (thankfully no hard ones), the phone, checking books out, checking books in, and going through the morning delivery of books from the other branches. It actually helped improve my mood quite a bit, even if I was worn out by the afternoon - which was rather dead. I picked up a volume of Naruto to read when I ran out of things to do, and a coworker glanced over and said "Out of all the books in here - you choose to read that?" I just said "Yup!" and then picked up another volume. She was teasing, BTW. Although I think I'm the only one there who actually reads manga/comics. The youth librarian orders some because kids ask for them, but she doesn't get them at all, and I haven't seen any interest from anyone else, so I'm sure they think I'm a little strange (they probably thought that anyway).
This morning, by contrast, was really, really slow. We were hard pressed to give our young adult volunteers something to do. "Why don't you ... organize the CDs for us?" (which really did need to be done, nobody pays attention when then shelve those).
