MCA #1, Saturday Midday
Henry and his mother had passed what seemed like an uneventful day and a half together, remarkable only in that they both knew she shouldn't be there. They'd browsed in shops and listened to music; they'd gone to Henry's favorite restaurants and taken a brief detour through the preserve. They'd debated the pros and cons of calling Henry's dad, and ( Read more... ) -
MCA #1, Tuesday Morning
Henry DeTamble didn't remember his dreams often. Usually, he dove into sleep like a champion swimmer into a pool, submerged and gliding through until he broke for air on the other side ( Read more... ) -
Library Info Post!
I know I'm losing a couple aides this session due to the terrible tendency of graduates to move on no matter how much I sob and cling, so library aide applications are open. Aides are responsible for posting the library one day a week. (If two people want to sign up as a team to cover a single day, I'm totally cool with that. More library ( Read more... ) -

MCA #1, Saturday Afternoon

Library Staff Meeting, 2/18
There was a tray of deli sandwiches for everyone to eat (and Jono to glare at) this week, in place of the usual pizza. Otherwise, it was a normal staff meeting, except ( Read more... ) -
Library Staff Meeting, Thursday, 1/28
There was pizza in a conference room again this week -- but, in deference to Jono, Henry had also put on a Clash CD a little more loudly than was conventional for a meeting, which he hoped would make up for his fondness for feeding people. He had to raise his voice over the music, but that wasn't anything he wasn't used to ( Read more... )
