Another day at the library...

This is another one of those things they don't teach you in library school that comes in handy.

On Friday, one of our part-timers flushed one of the staff toilets and broke the plastic arm that connects the handle with the "chain" (everything's plastic, really) that lifts the plunger to let the water in and out.

Walking into our maintenance closet, I found a replacement mechanism conveniently in front of my stomach.

So, after some scrutinizing of the mechanism (and, believe it or not, the directions,) I managed to install the piece, gave it a test flush, and proclaimed the results "working, though it may need slight adjustments) in a memo to my boss and our custodian.

I think I may change careers to "plumber." I'd make a lot more money...
