My filing cabinet

my brain is like a filing cabinet…storing seemingly useless information…

Thanks a lot. I learn something new from you today.

I received this thank you note from a user today.

As librarians, we received a fair number of thank you notes in our work. It is nice to be appreciated and acknowledged. But sometimes I can’t help but think that it is just a courteous gesture on the part of my user and may not be an indication of my impact on their work.

This email message is a little different. It crystallizes my impact. The new knowledge is like a fishing rod to my user. It means she can do something better tomorrow.

She brightened my day.  (^__^)
