On Friday at work, one of the students on an earlier library tour came up to me at the reference desk as I was finishing with someone else, and commented “You’re so quiet now!” and I was like “Yes, I don’t tend to project my voice when I’m not trying to speak to 30 people at once!”
One of my co-workers commented that when I gave tours my voice was “booming” and I thought great, now the whole library knows that we have a reference book that provides a list of all the monster movies that feature giant squid. But that’s ok, because someone could be sitting around thinking “Man, I want to watch a movie with Squid!” and now they know where to go.
The first couple weeks before the beginning of a new semester, I am usually filled with dread wondering how on earth I’ll have the time to get everything done, but usually I settle down and its all ok.
