woo hooo!
After a very long day yesterday, the phone rang at 9:39 AM this morning I figured it was the library asking me to come in earlier today. Instead it was the circulation manager who is just back from vacation calling. She asked me if I was still interested in the hourly circulation position that I interviewed for last week. I said, “Definitely” trying to keep my cool and not scream in her ear. The scream came after I hung up. She wants me to start soon so I may be starting as early as next week, it all depends on how we can work the schedule out with my shelving manager, who will now be a co-worker. I had a few clues that I might have the position when my manager said something about she and the circ manager comparing schedules but I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment. Going into work this afternoon will be even sweeter than yesterday where I was watching the clock all day. I had expected the circ manager to be back yesterday and it made for a very long day when she wasn’t.
For some knitting content, I cranked out two more baby bibs for a man at work whose wife is having a baby in a few weeks. He’s leaving the library for another job and his last day was yesterday so I started the first one on Monday and finished the second one Thursday night. He and his wife loved them. I made the blue one adjustable by putting two button holes in the strap.
Mrs. Tomato is doing well. Thursday night we had some big thunderstorms, much to George’s dismay. Yesterday morning, Bryan was looking out the window at Mrs. Tomato and noticed that one of her tomatoes (the one on the right) that was just starting to ripen was lying on the ground. He went out, checked it out and realized it probably fell during the storms but it had a quite a few bites taken out of it. Another little creature wanted to share in some of Mrs. Tomato’s goodness so what else could he/she do than to eat part of the lovely tomato sitting on the ground. We thought it was funny but I’m sorry that we lost our largest tomato yet to storms and a curious, hungry little creature.

Congrats on your job!
Those bibs are way cute, and congrats on the tomatoes! It’s so satisfying to be able to eat the stuff you’re carefully grown all summer, isn’t it?
