1.) Older gentleman, who I know is in his 50's because he told me, came to ask me if we have true crime books because he loves to read about real murders and has since he was 14. I refrained from asking if he was getting ideas from them. He goes on to show me the book he is reading and shows me the pictures in it of the murder victims and their families as well as the accused. He was carrying a small cooler with him - I think there may have been a head in it.
2.) Another gentleman needs help figuring out how to use the webcam on his new laptop so he can take pictures of albums he wants to sell on ebay. I figure out the process and he proceeds to take a picture of me in front of the computer. I hurriedly figure out how to delete that picture. I then spend quite a long time sitting next to him while he tries to remember his log-on information for ebay. He does not remember, but rather than register again, he decides that learning how to take the pictures was enough for one day.
3.) A third gentleman is waiting to talk to me to reserve a room for a meeting he will be having here at the end of the month. I know that I have talked to him before but could not tell you what about. While we are working out the details of his meeting, he says that he refers to me as his 'library wife.' Awkward laugh. After we've made the arrangements he says that he's got to thank me for all my work and he'll take me out to dinner. He says he knows I'm married, he's just being a nice guy. Or he asks, do I like sports like basketball or baseball? He gets tickets and we could go sometime. Or sometimes he likes to organize trips to New Hampshire to go horseback riding or rafting, and he pays for it all. "It would be cool, I know you're married." I'm supposed to look at my schedule and get back to him with my availability when he gets back from some work trips next week. I'll be getting right on that. Or using my panic button for the first time the next time I see him.
Any updates on the encounters? The suspense is killing me!
ReplyDeleteI heard back from the man who wanted to take me out somewhere. He called to confirm his meeting information and said again that he owes me big time. The guy with the webcam immediately forgot everything I showed him, so I am expecting him to show up again and take more pictures of me with his computer.
