Last night, my household caught up with the final episode of the second season of BBC’s Sherlock Holmes. As I went through the house afterwards, I glanced outside the window to a world of white. I’ve been hoping for snow since my hometown has received three snowfalls in the last two weeks when it hardly ever snowed there when I lived there. This snowfall was gone before I headed out the door for work this morning.
Monday
This was a truly mixed day that left me feeling like I was treading water. Nothing too exciting to report besides getting mixed audio results while working with the new camcorder. Topics of the day: panels, fixing web pages, clearing the online help request tickets, social media, and spruced up the Espresso Book Machine website.
The WordPress class Polly and I are teaching stared as well. I came home to half a zillion emails. Since it was a long holiday weekend, there has been a back up getting some the email addresses of some of the participants, but it is getting itself sorted out.
Tuesday
I closed the Adult Technology Classes by going into the nodes and deleting the embed code. I then had to send out mass emails informing patrons of their registration. Part of this meant discovering patrons whose cards were long expired, people who did not live here, and then a stream of patrons wanting to know where was their confirmation email despite the screen telling them that January 17th was confirmation day when they registered and then a follow-up email reminding them of this as well. I headdesked a lot, in other words. I started checking out Github (squealing over the checksum portion), but then got interrupted by a request to go to a conference call meeting (which I can’t talk about yet!). I rushed to lunch and then to a meeting with reference about how they want to change their website pages. This meeting made me feel particularly anxious with a lot of new demands that I need to work in. I will have to sit down and plot out what I will do to fulfill those requests. Then I closed out the day by working in the computer labs. It is midterms week so we have a packed house.
