Today at my job we had the first meeting I've ever sat in on. I've been here over three months now, and in that time, we've never needed to have a meeting until today. What with the budget uncertainties, and a new library director starting on Monday, to say nothing of the thousands of volumes being sent from out library to a storage facility and the mass cancellations of serials, it seems like the time when something momentous would come up and we'd need to have a meeting, right? Yeah. We had a meeting today.

About book carts.

( Gory details of the stupidest meeting ever. )

ETA: I've officially been working in libraries too long (or just long enough, whichever) - we just got in four back issues of the Hydrobiological Journal, which we've had sitting incomplete in current journals since I got hired, and since my coworker got hired, and I flipped out and jumped up and dashed out into the journals room to pull the volumes. But it's so great! The backordered issues of Hydrobiological Journal came in! My faith in humanity is restored!

Are houses in Colorado apt to have basements?


(When I was writing Buffyfic, I accumulated an assortment of links relating to family law in California. Due South has lead me to bookmark a map of Northwest Territories and another of the Arctic circle, a catalog of lubes, and more info on the 95-96 Chicago Blackhawks than any one person should attempt to assimilate. Stargate, it seems, means time to learn lots of fun facts about Colorado Springs...)
