Why my coworkers would never throw away things like half a tuna sandwich in a lunchbox or rinse out a baby bottle full of milk is beyond me, but it made digging through that box gross and stinky. My personal favorite was the photos though, I saved the most interesting ones that never got claimed and have a whole photo album dedicated to people I don't know. I was going to post them on my blog, but I got lazy or something.<br /><br />Also, when I worked in your system they had a circ staffer do the ILL's too, which I didn't get since info staff help them place the hold usually and they come to that desk to ask about it. People just like to pass the buck :/shushiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034870853291366137noreply@blogger.com
