Sunday Travelogues
Maybe its another sign of burnout, but after yesterday I wonder if the world needs Sunday Travelogues. The presenter forgot, until I called him, that he was scheduled to present. So I "entertained" the crowd with a few "commercials" while we waited for him to arrive 15 minutes late. The presentation was entertaining, but the photos (I have high standards) were not all the greatest. There were a few with time & date stamps ( a pet peeve of mine) and at least one with a finger in the frame. They do say you get what you pay for, but I've had better presenters for free before. Anyway the whole experience left me a little disgruntled. Maybe its just that I also set up 50 chairs by myself, moved tables around, cleaned up after the previous group who used the room, and I was overtired from a similar (but longer) experience the day before with a church group I volunteer with. Not to mention the patron (not even attending the travelogue) who accosted me in the hallway with an evil tirade about the government(?) because the downtown library was closed on Sunday. Where am I going with this? Not sure...But I normally have a sense of satisfaction after a welcomed program, and the patrons were satisfied and thanked me, but I still didn't get that peaceful feeling yesterday. I have been of the mind for the last few years that this is what I am supposed to be doing. But lately I am not so sure. And yet I have nowhere else in sight to go. Maybe next week's vacation will give me some perspective. At the very least a much needed break.
