Last day in the life (for this round)

Posted by: J on: January 30, 2009

Take everything I listed yesterday and put it on today. I’m playing catch up since I was out sick yesterday. Throw in my supervisor’s retirement party and it’s a busy Friday.

(This cartoon has nothing to do with anything.)
Friday’s around here are generally fairly quiet. It’s dress down day, so I wear jeans [...]

Day in the Life – Thursday (Day 4)

Posted by: J on: January 29, 2009

Definitely not a typical day for me. I’m home sick. Seems that I’ve caught the creeping crud. I was feeling pretty nasty already last night – sore throat, achy, headache, exhausted, etc. – and woke up this morning with a congested cough and even less energy. I debated for a bit [...]

Day in the Life – Wednesday (Day 3)

Posted by: J on: January 28, 2009

Typical morning. Unlock office, turn computer on, get coffee, check email and day’s task list, work on overdues, etc.
This morning I have a training. So, I had to check emails to see what room we’re meeting in. Looks like it will be over in one of our computer labs. I also [...]

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 [...]

The last day in my life

Posted by: J on: July 18, 2008

That doesn’t sound right. I should say this is the last day I’m going the “day in a librarian life” for now. Still thinking about coming back to it in the fall when things are very different around here with instruction and whatnot.
Anyway, I worked the desk first thing this morning. But [...]

A Thursday in my life

Posted by: J on: July 17, 2008

This isn’t really how a Thursday looks. It’s a look at the library where I work.

My day today started out with a department meeting. Things to discuss before some of us head off for vacations and other places in the next couple of weeks. After that, I spent most of the day [...]

Wednesday in my life

Posted by: J on: July 16, 2008

As I’ve been working on this meme, I’m realizing how incredibly boring my work probably seems to an outside, non-library type. In the summers, it can even be that way sometimes for us reference librarians.
We have had a busier days here and there during the past few months, but generally, things are fairly quiet [...]

A Tuesday in the life

Posted by: J on: July 15, 2008

Nothing fancy today because Tuesdays in the summer look a lot like Mondays. Still working on weeding, gift books, working the reference desk, etc. No meetings today. Like I said, the usual grind…that’s not really a grind because I like my job and the work that I get to do.
I sat [...]

A Monday in my life

Posted by: J on: July 14, 2008

And a chance to play around more with my Flip camera and Windows Movie Maker (which really isn’t a bad little piece of software considering it’s usually already installed on your computer.)
