Reference librarianship as calorie burner

First two hours at reference desk this morn:
  • Up the stairs to take a book on hold to the reserve shelves.
  • Back downstairs.
  • Out to the computers to help with resume attachment.
  • Back to desk.
  • Off to shelves to look for copy of D.H. Lawrence "Sons and Lovers." It is missing. Back to the phone to break the bad news.
  • Upstairs to pick up printout of a Power of Attorney form since downstairs printers are not working.
  • Downstairs.
  • Upstairs again to print out a Google Maps.
  • Downstairs.
  • Printout only included directions, not map, so back upstairs to pick up map.
  • Downstairs.
  • Etc.
  • Huddle behind reference desk, calculating how many leftover Christmas cookies I can now afford to eat.
