This morning I have come to know the curse of the library. I was checking out a remote control for myself while off duty because it is easier than making a library staff member get up and walk over and do something I can easily do. I hope that did not come across as a complaint because it is not.
The curse that I am speaking of is having to assist fellow students while off duty trying to do my own studying. Multiple times I have ended up helping students while off duty. This morning I had on my jacket and backpack and not even behind the desk when my assistance was solicited. I thought for sure no one would mistake me for being on the clock. I suppose that since I am seen behind the desk then I am seen as eternally on duty when my feet are inside the Oliver and Norma Rogers Research Center. The problem is that when most people are off duty they are not at their place of employment they are somewhere else. But for me this is not the case. I spend many hours at my place of employment while not on duty. This is obviously confusing for some fellow students.
Oh the price one has to pay to work in the library.

I'd like to borrow the book, 'Peace Child'. Can you find that for me? Opps...you're probably off duty right now. Sorry! :) Seriously...I feel your pain. --Nicole
Ministry is so often that way too - be caught at the building on your day off and end up being asked to do a billion and one things. I guess maybe that is good training then :)
