Pretty sure this lady is here because it's Agatha Christie and it's her birthday but I'm still gonna take it personally on my library computer anyhow. https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/146/963/756/354/original/8768c5cbb407fddd.png

Would have wrapped up these "Day at Work" toots sooner but a woman came in at 4:55 needing to scan and email some documents. I had already shut the pubic computers down (and I don't actually know how the library scanner works that well) but we muddled through it. Such a fine line, right? Do you say "Sorry we're closing" or are you open until 4:59:59?" Anyhow, I cleaned this thing. I am pretty sure it's never been cleaned as long as I've been subbing at the library (15-ish years) https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/875/493/788/689/original/192c345156d5139c.jpeg

Subbing sometimes means finding your own jobs to do. I was having no luck with normal cleaning but then I thought "It's GOT to come apart, right?" Right! This was one of the most satisfying things I've maybe ever cleaned that was not a thing I owned personally. There was a brief period where I was afraid I would either break it or be unable to reassemble it but neither were true. Look how nice! I mean reference work is great but have you ever really cleaned out a rolltop sliding thingie? https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/879/149/591/051/original/37710668d70b4ff8.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/879/666/784/415/original/63c759cea935f1f3.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/880/006/811/608/original/cd30f5389195d734.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/glammrus/media_attachments/files/111/071/891/834/697/357/original/60f233b3bbba3ba1.jpeg
