What I’d like for my birthday

Posted by: J on: March 11, 2009

Besides world peace, I’d really like a Kindle. Will I get one? Not likely. They run about $359.00 for the device. It’s time to start saving my pennies.
We are ordering two for the library. I’m really looking forward to trying out the new one. We’re also ordering two Flip [...]

Chocolate on my face

Posted by: J on: March 10, 2009

Thank you Hershey bars were handing out by HR today. One of the woman in HR is really dedicated to making employees feel valued and appreciated. She’s started a variety of things, like quarterly supervisors meetings, that should help improve communication and general morale. If everyone gets on board. I’m on [...]

Blargh!

Posted by: J on: March 2, 2009

I’m now in the midst of budget writing season. Good thing I had a weekend out. There is the potential of some late working days in my future.
And, I GAINED 0.6 lbs. this week. Yuck! But I didn’t do any exercising last week since I felt so lousy most days and [...]

Oh snap!

Posted by: J on: February 15, 2009

Charley and I went driving today so I could get some pitchers pictures for my photography assignment. He was incredibly well-behaved and held still when I asked him to so that my arm wasn’t jiggled by the leash. It’s great because I like the companionship even if we don’t talk much. [...]

A meh sort of day

Posted by: J on: February 10, 2009

The weather outside is amazing today. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to get outside to enjoy it before it gets cold again tomorrow. It’s a reminder of what we have to look forward to when spring really arrives to stay.
DH is at Ft. Campbell this week. I guess the band there is deployed, [...]

Working Out

Posted by: J on: February 7, 2009

It’s been over two months since I started my new job.
Things are going well. I still have a great deal to learn and absorb, but I don’t feel overwhelmed on a daily basis like I did when I first started. However, people have been really helpful and welcoming, which has made [...]

Weighty Matters

Posted by: J on: February 5, 2009

I’ve been thinking a lot about food and weight this week. Trying to change your habits does that to a person.

I realized that part of my problem is not being able to imagine myself anything other than heavy. I’ve been overweight for so many years that the very idea of ever being slim [...]

Day in the Life – Day 2, Tuesday (with cartoons!)

Posted by: J on: January 27, 2009

I did not want to get out my cozy warm bed this morning and deal with another cold day. It was one of those days when I almost wished I was sick or injured so I could just stay home. And I like my job and my workplace. But winter has worn [...]

Week in the Life – Monday

Posted by: J on: January 26, 2009

It’s time for round two of Day in the Life of a Librarian. However, like many librarians, I don’t have one day that is really like all other days. So, you’ll be subjected treated to a whole week.
My morning started with a training visit. I’m still getting familiar with our circulation system [...]

Day in the Life

Posted by: J on: January 21, 2009

Now that I’ve started a new job, it seemed an appropriate time to write a new post about a typical day in my librarian life…if there is a day you can call typical.

Most mornings I get up around 7 am. I’m still not a morning person, but it’s nice to have more of a routine [...]
