Ah, memories!

Hello everyone! It's me Carmen. I have a little memory for you.

I was working in the back space the other day mending books and the phone rang. It was for Emily at the front desk so I called her on the phone. The line was busy. Odd, I thought. Why would the line be busy when it doesn't show that it's busy? Then realized I was dialing the back space extension where I was sitting and not the front desk extension. So I was basically calling myself. Dummie, I know.
This reminded me of this one time at the old library. I had a shelf of books that had arrived for patrons and I had to go one by one and call them to tell them their book was here. So, it was nearing the end of the day and I tired. I just wanted to go home but I was a good little employee and continued onward with my duties. I picked up one of the books and saw that it was for one of the staff. I figured I would still make the courtesy call so she wouldn't forget to take it home the next day. I dialed the number on the slip of paper and got a busy tone. I tried again after a while and still, the line was busy. The next day, April came up to me and said, "You tried to call this number and it was busy. Do you recognize the number?"
When I glanced at the number, and seeing how it was a new day and I was energized and rested, I recognized the phone number immediately and felt like such a Dori fish! It was the library's phone number. I was calling myself.
Okay, let me take this moment to remind you again that I was tired! Tired! Getting off at 7pm and during the winter, there is no sun outside which makes the sky darker and makes some people more tired! Sometimes our brain already go home for the night but we're still on the clock! And then we make little mistakes when we're seeing double. It happens!

So that's my little memory. I was thanking my lucky stars that it was staff I was calling and not a patron who was waiting by the phone waiting for his/her awesome book.

Have a nice day!
Carmen
