That Girl, with the Hair ...




I've been thinking about creating a blog for a while. I just couldn't think of a good title. But on this Saturday morning, when I really should be preparing for the crazy work week ahead, I was desperate to do anything but what I should be doing. I did laundry, even washing the sheets! I dragged the vacuum out of the closet. I'm even thinking about cleaning the littler box! Then, I thought, why not create a blog!?

But still, what to call it?

Then I thought of the perfect title: That Girl, with the Hair ...... It's related to my job, which I love. I am a reference/instruction librarian at a comprehensive regional university in Kentucky. The main part of my job is to plan and conduct library instruction sessions for undergraduate, graduate, and special service region groups.

This spring semester I've conducted several sessions for research method courses. They have been a lot of fun and usually only a few students sleep in each class ; ) The best thing about these sessions, and my job, is when a student from one of these classes comes into our branch library and asks for me!

Sometimes, though, they don't remember my name. My office is in a bad spot, so I can't see them come in. But I hear:

"Is, um, that girl who talked to our class here? Um, that girl, with the hair (and normally there is some hand movement to the head at this point), the blondish hair...."

It's happened several times at this point and I love it!
