I really should not let patrons get me down.
Today I worked three hours with patrons in the computer labs. I sat down for a total of three minutes — just enough time to figure out how to create underlined blank forms in Word, otherwise I was on my feet and leaning over [...]
Thursday
This was a day of design! I finished up this poster (I am currently fresh out of design ideas), completed a month’s worth of new books digital signage, and then got caught up in administering the project I mentioned yesterday. The hiccup is still tying us all up and denying access. [...]
Monday
I spent most of the day working in the computer lab. The time went by so rapidly that in the end I could not even complain. The highlight was a patron reminding me of an earlier conversation we had about website building. I offered her my business card so we could have a [...]

I have been preoccupied all week listening to The Hunger Games series of audiobooks (about halfway through the second set. I was able to download the mp3 of Catching Fire quite easily to my phone through my library’s website!). This constant state of hunger and attention to the books has caused me to put off [...]
“I have not failed seven hundred times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those seven hundred ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”
supposedly said by Thomas Edison.
I spent most of the day [...]
Today was an absolute throw together mess of items. The stand outs would be fleeing my office when the electricians were dragging thick iron (?) cords through the ceiling tiles immediately above my head, doing some small website tweaks, and then dealing with patrons. The first patron asked about a specific program, berated me for [...]
