Just Say Thanks

Sometimes you think that what you do at your job isn't appreciated by the public. As a librarian I can tell you that there aren't many times when you are told thanks but many times that the public lets you know that they don't want to go by the rules and let you know that they think that you are no good. In the last two weeks though I had YA's (young adults) come up to me and tell me that they appreciated what I had done for them. Two of them had graduated H.S. and were now in college and the other is now a senior and expects to become a doctor. They may not realize how much it meant to me but I hope that they did. This is the reason that I became a librarian. No, not to get thanked but to know that I have made a difference.

If someone does something that you really appreciate, thank them or better yet thank them and let their boss know it also. I try to do it. When YOU do, believe me it will make their day.
