A tiny big surprise

As I said yesterday, I was very sick. Anyway at home and checking my email I received a message: an activity in the library tomorrow ( I mean today) So I remembered the mess I saw on Monday when I came to work.
So decided to wake up very early and go to school, even when I didn´t feel fine. And everything was as I thought: nothing was different. All the shelves in the same position, no chairs in conference room, DRUMS in the conference room, a ball, a t-shirt,  water in the floor, the chairs desorganized, a ping pong table in the middle of the room,  everything was a MESS.

But then I saw something: Blinds in the doors!!!! For me that was a miracle!!! It was a long request because it's almost impossible to see any video or presentation in the smart board due to the sunlight. It was a pleasure to see this.

   

Yes!!! I was extremely happy with such tiny thing!!! But the Library it doesn't belong to Mr. Pina. I'm just like a watchman keeping save the small collection we have now, trying to do something for the school and our students. Sometimes I feel bad when new parents visit our Media Center and see the lot of things are missing. But I believe any future time must be better: and at least one tiny thing changed my point of view.

And the other question: what if I've decided not to come today? I feel very sick. But I knew no one was warned about the situation in the Library and the mess the visitors might find here. So, I woke up early wearing a t-shirt  because I knew no one could help me to do anything and the work could be hard, and it was. I had to organize and pick up everything by myself, organize all the chairs, clean a little that mess I found, only with the help of a cleaning woman.  I think that if I had missed school today that situation would give visitors a bad impression, and in my case I was not responsible for it. So, we have to work together as an institution, not as a man or a woman, just like representatives of the place we work. Hope in the future the situation may improve. I hope so.
