Cryin....

What a shocker! The Lady Wrangler has retired yet again. Hearts are breaking all over the Local History Room.

Fly Fishin'

"Lady Wrangler" is always taking days off when the weather is good and heading out to the nearest lake, stream or river.  One day his elderly mother called the library to speak to her son but as usual he was a state away fly fishing on some remote stream.  When he returned I told him that his mother had called several times that day wanting to talk to him.  He told me the next time she called to tell her to call his cell phone and to tell her he was 'at lunch' or 'in a meeting'. He didn't want her to worry.  Boys and their mothers.... tricky!

10 Men + 1 VCR = Chaos

"Lady Wrangler" belongs to a hunting and fishing club that meets every couple of months at the library.  During their meetings they have guest speakers and the like.  If it's a slow night they'll pop in a video of somebody trout fishing or butchering meat.  Real snooze fest in my opinion but occasionally I'll get a panicked summons to the meeting room because they can't get the VCR to work.  Turns out the tv channel was wrong or the whole thing wasn't plugged in. No one in the whole group stepped up to figure it out.  Maybe they need to spend less time in a trout stream and more time being a couch potato in order to know how to navigate today's antiquated technologies.

The 'Office'

The "Lady Wrangler" is a semi-retired gentleman who only 'works' at the library three days a week.  He comes in late usually about 10:30 or 11:00 then promptly takes lunch at noon only to return thirty minutes later to sneak off into his 'office'.  His office consists of a mechanical closet with a reclining lawn chair, a towel, and a box to prop his feet on so he can take a cat nap and rest his weary soul.

Lady Wrangler

We have a partially-retired gentleman who comes in three days a week to staff our local history and genealogy collection help desk. He's an avid hunter and fisherman and loves to relate his stories to the older gents who come in to research their family trees. When he's not checking out the latest stream reports online he spends most of his time wrangling the assortment of widows and divorcees who manage to wander in on his shift and sit and flirt with him for hours on end.
