Ambidesktrous

I was vastly amused by myself this morning. My morning desk shift was pretty quiet but we had questions from all sides of the half circle reference desk. I decided that anyone who could manage to deal with this situation had to be "ambidesktrous". Many groans and "it's too early" comments quickly followed.

Hell Day

There are days that I love my job and the people that I work with. This is NOT one of those days. I enjoy professional challenges but today I had a philosophical difference with my supervisor and I am now questioning whether they have my best interest in mind. There hasn't been a lot of mentoring going on, more like hectoring. In any case I have hit my frustration point for the week and plan on finishing a few tasks and leaving. Tomorrow I am hosting a Mardi Gras party as a member of the Krewe of Alexandria and I have lots of last minute details to attend to. Next week will be better. It has to be.

True to their promise

Well, I have already discovered that when they tell you the system will be down they are not joking. I had to wait until the following day to see my links updated when I started my post 10 minutes before the cutoff point. Today we met with some strategic planning folks to talk about departmental priorities. I guess I shouldn't have started the list with "ruling the universe". Oh well, if they can't take a joke.....

Virginal yet again.

Well, here I am starting a blog after watching coworker after coworker jump right in. I like to perceive myself on the "leading edge" rather than the "bleeding edge" of technology. I should probably face the fact that I may have some luddite tendencies. In any case I have been inspired by watching these others, so here goes.
