Library Day in the Life – Wednesday, Day 5

6:00 up and at ‘em 6:30 get the call that we have  a delayed opening, spend my time on FF and Blackboard 9:00 Arrive at work, check emails, check Voicemail – message from a database rep about contracts, send email in response. 9:30 Time for Management Team Mtg, this one is only once a month. 11:00 Back to my desk, answering emails, talk with Collection Management Librarian about one of our new ordering tools.  Another Librarian asks me to help her with Google Calender.  We’ve switched to Google for our email and everyone is still figuring out how to use all the tools.  I help her and give her a couple of tips.   11:45  Decide funk is in part brought on by the cave that is my office and going out for lunch might help.  So I walk to blocks to a local place with good salads 12:30 Back to my desk, check my calender, see I have a WebJunction Virtual Townhall Meeting – Focus on Staff Training at 1pm 12:50 – Log into WJ get some goo info about staff training  2:15 Time to order books!

I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post and this one. 6:00 wake up, wonder if the weather got bad enough over night that work will be canceled.  Get up make coffee and realized that the library will be open today.  Fret over whether or not I should just stay home, we’re supposed to get more bad weather this afternoon and I live 30 miles from the library.  Decide to go in. 7:15 – leave for work.  The highway isn’t great, everyone is going about 50, I see one accident and am almost in one when I have to brake.  Ugh I’m over half way to work so I keep going, if I were close to home I’d probably turn around. 8:00 – Arrive at work.  Turn on computer, while I”m waiting for my profile to load I chat with coworkers about the weather. 8:30 - check email and open the weather channel in a tab so I can keep an eye on the weather.  In case it starts to get bad I want to leave and

Library Day in the Life – Monday Day 3

I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post and this one. I’m off work at the Library today because I worked the weekend.   7:00 coffee time!  I take the dogs out, man it’s cold! I check my email, Friendfeed and return some comments from Facebook yesterday. 8:30 sign into Blackboard to finish reading posts, complete grades for this week. 9:30 I get ready to run errands.  Lots to do today! First stop, my local library (not where I work) to return a couple of videos and pick up Season 2 Vol 1 of Alias, I’m rewatching the series.  Then on to check out a new (to me) gym.  My old one closed.  It looks really nice, so I’ll be going back at the end of the week to sign up. I do some grocery shopping and somehow end up with more than I’d planned on getting. 12:00 back home put away groceries, and make lunch – brussels sprouts! 1:00 sit down to work on a workshop I’ll be presenting in Minnesota in April. 4:00
