  • Part 2

    Story #3:
        We always have problems at closing. People don't want to leave. People come in late. People want lengthy transactions when we have only two minutes to process them. People get fussy. This particular night, there weren't to many problems getting the library closed up. The last couple patrons were two men dressed in skinny, tight jeans with flannel shirts. One may have even had a cowboy hat of some sort. They came up to the desk grumbling and complaining about the library closing so early. It was 9 o'clock. As I helped them, one said to me, "Why are you guys closing so early? Even the bars stay open later than 9:00!" I just gave them one of these: o.O and, continued on my way.

    Story #4:
        It was the first time Indiana had ever changed times. Most of us Hoosiers had never been through Daylight Savings Time in their lives. It went smoothly (though a bit begrudgingly on my part) for the first day. However, the second day, a man came up to the desk and said, "Why did you close so early last night? I came in at the usual time. But, it may be me. It seems I've been about an hour off all day long!!" I broke the news to him about Daylight Savings Time.
