A nice quiet day allowed the catch up on blogs and (most) email etc that's arrived over Easter.

Although the 'nice, quiet day' was rudely interrupted by a lunchtime I wouldn't recommend. I'd (foolishly?) volunteered to help out on the general enquiry desk where they deal with inter-library loans and off-campus database access particularly. Phone call after phone call and f2f enquiry after f2f enquiry led me to the realization that I know nothing and can help no one. Actually, that's not quite true. I did manage to track down a stapler for one student. Not that I was supposed to - but it was so nice to actually provide what was requested for a change.

Worse than that, the lady I was covering was delayed half an hour and then just as she did return I got involved in a 40 minute phone call that was involved complex (after seeming to start out just the opposite).

Memo to self: remember not to volunteer!
