Hey, Cool --
I just read that "finding your inner no" blog post. A nice way to
start my day. And the phone rang, and I was being asked to do someone
else's job last minute, which would cause the library to be closed
today. (Today is the first day the library will be open in 2 weeks,
due to statewide testing.) And I was able to sweetly, sincerely, and
firmly say 'I wish I could help you, but I can't today.' You know
what? It was not an issue for the person asking. She didn't get
huffy, didn't cry, didn't blame. Yahoo!!-- (And it's also my birthday
today. No lie!)
Happy day, all,
Robin
