Why Here, Today?

I love my job - usually. But today, when the sun is shining and there is not a cloud in the sky, the humidity is low and the trees are blowing gently....today, the perfect summer day, I don't want to be here.

And why on Earth are patrons here? If I were free, I'd be at a park, a pool, a beach. Not in a building, even a building filled with books and magazines and DVDs and computers.

Those who want or need something quick (like an item on hold) are a bit easier to understand than those who are determined to spend the hours typing away on the computer, surfing the Web rather than the waves, as if the beauty outside doesn't exist.

Why?
