Rawr, and so forth

I'm not sure, but it seems like since I turned 30 (yes, the big 3-0) time has flown. I'm not really sure what's happened to June. Every day seems to be going by so fast.

It's probably due to Summer Reading Program. When you combine an incentive program with a ton of more programs plus kids being out of school, it generally leads down the road of madness. Laptops are checked out like they're hot commodities, computers are booked for every moment that the library doors are open, and there seems to be so little time to get actual work done. Thus is the way of my summer so far.

Part of my job is that of volunteer coordinator. We had an orientation last Tuesday. We pretty much set a new record of attendees...around 40. I had no way to make an accurate count, and no way to really even hold an orientation for that many in the middle of the library. It was insanity at its peak...until the next day.

Yeah, about 2/3 of those 40 showed up the next day, in addition to the normal slew that we have. So every 2 minutes I was being asked by a new smiling face, "Hi, I'm a volunteer...how can I help?"

I ran out of tasks in the first hour of my day.

I'm hoping the next orientation has a few less than 40...
