Mid-Year's Resolution
Last Saturday after work, I went to my friend's house to use her garage and her brother's tools to install a hitch to my car. The master plan is that with this hitch, I will attach a bike rack, attached to said bike rack will be the mountain bike that has been sitting in my basement for the past 3 years. I won the bike for free and people thought that I would have sold it as per my usual hustle-mentality. But I decided to keep it and paid to have it put together by a local bike shop. I reasoned that it would be good to have a non-gas dependent mode of transportation just in case, you know, the world goes to sh*t.
With the hitch and rack, I no longer have an excuse to NOT take the bike out to the trails. The installation took 45 minutes longer than usual, because I'm a dummy and rushed through it. Fortunately, with my friend's help, no one needed medical attention and the only injuries sustained were mosquito bites. Here's to a summer of being more active outdoors!
Also, how anticlimactic was the season 3 ending for Game of Thrones!?? As I was watching it, I kept looking at the clock and told myself, "They're surely going to show Joffrey's wedding!" NOPE... They should have saved the Red Wedding for the season finale to really screw with non-readers.

New Year's Resolutions
Did everyone make their New Year’s Resolution to use the library to save money? The amount of patrons and check outs (ins) has multiplied significantly with the new year. Plus the fact that there is a freeze on new hires has also exacerbated this issue. Every time I am at the Circ Desk it is nonstop. If there isn’t a mountain of materials to check in, it’s a long line of people waiting to check items out. It makes the day go by much faster than just sitting around but the library’s whole new motto of “doing more with less” is starting to burn me out. If you are reading this as a patron of your local library, please be patient with your library staff, and if you work in the library – I feel your pain, you’re not alone.
