I learned my work ethic in a family-owned sweater factory; tolerable in the winter, miserable in the summer. All 5 of us kids worked there at some stage in our lives. The mantra imparted to us was: “Do your job, and do it with a smile.”
With that in mind we complete our obligation to our fellow librarians at the Milwaukee Public Library – Andrew Carnegie, the Paterfamilias in the Green & Yellow. We had full faith in the Black & Gold, but came up a little short this time. The Packers played a great game and absolutely deserved the win. Let it not be said that we aren’t good for our debts, and that our colleagues by the Lake consider our wager to be fulfilled.

We understand work ethic here in Wisconsin, also, and feel that those Packers displayed that ethic this year, as well as guts and determination. Just what is needed right about now for all of those that serve the public! Congrats on a great Steelers season! And I think Andrew looks grand in his green and gold….
Aw, thanks Melissa! I have a feeling we have much more in common than otherwise, on our sides of the country. ;) See you next year!!
