Oh, this is lovely – how utterly humiliating to lose control in public – and yet how wise to still know that YOU’RE not the only person who needs to be considered in that moment.

Aw, Paula, I’m so sorry!! You are brilliant at your job and librarians rule and you should have a puke-free and attitude-free life full of appreciative patrons. Mean people suck.

I love “Attention Barf cleaners” on the envelope.

i just had a looong day at the library during which a customer was rude and abusive to me and flat-out accused me of lying to her when I told I couldn’t help her with what she wanted. And then she made snide comments about me to all the rest of the people working at the computers and nobody stuck up for me – people I have helped with their resumes and helped print out their baseball tickets and boarding passes and to whom I have lent a flash drive when they didn’t have one. I have also cleaned up my fair share of puke. So this note from this lovely little boy made me burst into tears. Thanks Marjorie! I feel better now.
