Workplace Distraction
There are a lot of reasons why I love being a librarian. For one, I'm always busy with something. It's never the same thing day after day. If I'm bored with something I'm doing, I put it on hold and do something else. I love being surrounded by books as well. But at the same time, it does distract me from my work. I just got in a huge order of books and I'm processing them. This involves writing inside every book information about the order and other important details. The problem is that I find myself getting caught with looking at the books for an extended period of time. In fact I ordered a book for myself over the Christmas break that I didn't realize I had also ordered for my library. So it may take me a little longer to get the books on the shelves, but at least I know a little about some of the new books that I can make recommendations on them to students. Yeah, that's my excuse for looking at the Guiness Book of World Records for 30 minutes yesterday!
