Tuesday Can Be Long, Fun, Boring, Surprising, and Scarry

Yesterday, what a day did I have! Let's see, I had a wonderful story time at my library, sure only two kids showed up, but that's better than none, and they were usual :) And we read my favorite book The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. After the story time it was down to the dreaded Orthodontist, for a long two hour appointment to get my braces off (they've only been on for four years, no biggy)!! That appointment couldn't have been any boring, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was getting them off, I probably would have gone to sleep ;) Then the Town Meeting (scary music here, please). This town meeting will show if I have a job for another year, being a librarian it's a huge issue. We had a surprise when the selectmen made a motion to level fund us (yay!) someone stood up to make an amendment, Uh Oh! He started out saying "I would like to fund the W Public Library. . ." I was absolutely scared! "Zero dollars". OH CRAP!!!! Now usually I would be happy for this, BUT if WPL goes, then WWPL goes because we need accreditation. Making up the 5 hours which are needed by the MBLC (Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners) is easy, I would probably pick them up and they would be volunteer, BUT making up the $150,000 that we need to keep the accreditation, thanks to our lovely MAR would be impossible, fortunately the amendment was voted no, but the motion to level fund both libraries was passed (yay no cut!!). Then onto the family business! As you all know my father sells fire truck, well his boss is working on a truck with the town, and dad is helping. So last night there was a secret ballot for this Fire Truck, it lost by two votes, it was a two thirds vote, and the yes vote needed 113, there was only 111. It was then called to a re-vote, after most of the fire fighters left! Luckily, and with help of God it passed!

All in All yesterday was just a brief view into my life!

P.S. Bro #2 has deemed politics very boring and confusing!
