I'm working I promise!

Yay! I've gone from having three unfinished chapters to um about six, maybe. However, I am working on it steadily!~ On other news I also now sort of have a job! I am visiting with my aunt's mother everyday and fixing her lunch and making sure she eats plenty. She is elderly and is recovering from something she was in hospital with recently which has affected her short term memory. It's actually quite fun. She's very sweet and has an adorable little dog. Her memory is improving but I do get the impression that she probably wouldn't actually eat much if I wasn't there to fix something and eat with her.
From there, I now go to the local library to volunteer for a couple of hours. I'm volunteering there as sort of an internship with the understanding that when an actual paid position becomes available, I will be in line for it. I have volunteered for this library before, in fact, I helped move it some years back. I also worked at the library at college. I had hoped that would enable me to get a job with one of the local libraries but I've applied to the wealthier library that has lots of positions open but I've not heard anything from them. I figured, (and when I talked to my friend who manages our local library she said I was write) that they usually hire from within either the current employees or the pool of volunteers, it's just like any other business really. Thus I am an intern, and I shelve books. However, I do it better, faster and with more attention to detail than any highschooler or bored old lady (no disrespect meant). I have knowledge, drive, focus, and an intense love of the written word in bound print. Because of the summer reading program, I will probably spend most of my time straightening and shelving the Easy Readers and Juniors sections because those are the most backed up. Tuesday I spent four hours on the Easy Readers; I straightened and read the shelves for mishelves as I shelved the first cart which made it much easier to shelve the other two and a half shelves of backlogged books. When I returned on Wednesday I did the same for the Juniors. It is amazing to me how many new books, series and authors have been added since I read from these sections!
