Thank you?

I've been getting ... odd ... compliments recently. I mean, definitely complimentary, but not ones you hear often.

Like (from a regular, who sees me almost daily) : "You look nice without lipstick" (having never seen me without before)

Or being called a "cute kid" (I'm 31! Then again, she was probably 80). That was disconcerting just because the exchange started with, "Look at those legs!" which does not usually go with "cute kid." I was, however, amused when her friends all asked if she was gay after the legs comment.

Snow day!

W00t! Just learned that the library will be closing at 2:00 pm today, due to snow. Considering I get to go home early and STILL GET PAID, this is awesome news. Since I was planning to go home early, loss of pay or not.

And there must be a new person making this decision, because last year the earliest they ever sent us home was 4:00 pm, after much staff bitching. Someone has learned the value of keeping up staff morale vs. saving money on paid leave.
