More IM

I sent a IM to the reference desk at Main during my lunch time. I guess the Librarian was at lunch as well. After waiting for a few minutes, I left to get something to eat. When I checked later, someone had sent me a reply because I didn't sign out or changed my status to unavailable. Once again, I have learned something new. When I tried later I got an "away from the desk/busy" message. Finally, on my third try I received an instant reply to my question. It is good to know that this service is available for those who choose to use it.
