Day 138


Day one hundred thirty-eight
March 20, 2013: I finished Bleak House today. It actually wasn't that bleak, even for a Dickens book. Now I'm going to start Good Omens. Back in Bend the library would call you if you had a hold in. It was an automated voice, if they even bothered calling you. Sometimes they didn't, and if they did they wouldn't say who it was for, or what book it was, the message would only say someone at our number had a hold in. Here at this library an actual person calls you, and calls you personally, not just your number, to tell you that you have a hold in, which book it is, and how much longer they will hold it for you. In Bend you didn't have to talk on the phone with a person, which in a way is better, but then again the voice of a real person is much less annoying. Oh, and first day of spring everybody! I'm celebrating by wearing a sweater.
