Barring people from my office

I really wonder if there's a way to keep people out of my office. One staff member comes in whenever she works and kvetches. Today she came in five times to complain about five different things. (We shouldn't keep so many new books when they're past a certain date...we shouldn't recover rentals..why don't we have DN on the labels it made it easier to shelf read.) I forget the rest She doesn't like my answers. (Recover them this time, I'll look into before the next round, which is four months away/I've gotten to many complaints about the lack of quantitiy none about the age of books/HQ sets the label standards, if they don't want it, we don't get it.) I am SO tired of being nagged at everytime she's in!! The worst part is that my office doesn't have a door.

Interesting reference question of the day

I had a very cranky lady call up and ask how much it cost to educate a student from K-12. It took me a while to figure it out because everyone has the cost per year but not the full cost. I finally gave her the following information:
Capistrano School District: $7,614/pupil/year
Orange County: $8,267/pupil/year
California: $8,736/pupil/year
US: $9,769/pupil/year

Wierd huh? The facts stated above are from the California Dept of Education website and the US Dept of Education website.

Feeling proud

Just to toot my own horn for a sec, my boss just gave me an extra hour off award. Woo hoo!! Makes me feel wonderful! Sorry, back to my normal humble self now.

Ben's winning

It's been almost a month since Ben last upgraded the security around the composter and litter box. I'm thrilled to say that my composter is churning along happily and hasn't been eaten.
Meggie the wonder stomache, however, did take a taste of Ben's wasabi. We came home tonight to find the bottle in the living room opened, but barely touched. When we looked at the dogs, we noticed that Meggie had tear streaks down her cheeks and very droopy ears. I guess we finally found something she won't eat!
