Work was very busy. Typically it's usually very quiet first thing on the issue desk. Normally there are two of us and we would be sitting telling each other how quiet it was but because of staff sickness I was on my own for a fair part of the hour and it never stopped, queues everywhere and bells ringing. The bruises came later. I had a bit of a clumsy morning although I refuse to take responsibility for one of them. First I banged my elbow - my good one luckily - on a shelf as I passed it. I admit clumsiness for that. Then later the trolley I was pushing got it into its head to turn instead of going in a straight line and I jambed the edge of my hand between the handle of that one and the one it headed straight for. I've lost count of the complaints we've all made about the trolleys. But like most things while the ones responsible for the equipment don't have to use it complaints go unanswered.
That's my whine for the day over now. Hope everyone else's passed without incident!
I think that most stores could hire a full-time shopping cart repairman and
keep him busy!

Our trolleys may hold books instead of shopping, Pimme, but they're just as
bad.
I'm SOrry you hurt your hand! When I started reading today I thought you
were pushing a TROLLEY, (a people mover down here) then I remembered you
work in a library! duh!
