LibraryDayintheLife

Here we are at the final day. Friday. Work from home. WIN. VPN, shell, type, type type, forward ports, oh man, email.

Morning

Morning soundtrack - Four Tet - Remixes, Plaid - Parts in the Post

Wow, day 4 already. This week seems to be going by fast. Worked from home for a bit this morning and then took the train in again. Email this week has been miraculously low. Probably from all the moves. The 5th floor eerily empty, absolutely bizarre up there now.

Morning

Day three started off with a Go Train that decided to arrive 20 minutes late. Three cheers for mass transit. The delay was a good thing, it gave me 20 extra minutes and I was able to finish Calvino's, "Six Memos for the Next Millennium."

Morning

Here goes day 2! Tuesday is generally my first day of the week physically at work, which generally means that I have lots of meetings. Thankfully i did not have an immediate morning meeting.

Morning:

Morning soundtrack: Software Freedom Law Center - Episode 0x2C: Eben on Software Liability, Adult. - Resuscitation

So here we are again. Library Day in the Life number five! Monday is a work from home day. No audacious commute from Toronto to Hamilton today!

Morning:

Morning soundtrack: BBC World Service podcast, TWiT - It's The New Sex Talk, CBC Spark Daniel Pink on Motivation 3.0, The Protomen - The Protomen

Morning

email - lots of email. oh joy!

General project maintenance/managerial stuff. Investigate/fix workflow issues with the Mass Digitization project (the robotic book scanner). Hunt for a workstation for the contract worker that is working on the WWI digitization project. Do my due diligence on that massive black cloud looming.

Meetings all day. Will everything go better than expected, or will I rage?

Morning:

email - nope, I'm in meetings all day.

Got into work and discovered the contract worker for the giant 25,000 object digitization project started yesterday and nobody told me.

LOOK OF DISAPPROVAL

Checked in the worker and made sure that she was provided with proper documentation regarding file-naming convention, scanning requirements, and storage.

I should just write a script that pulls from all of these librarydayinthelife & #libday4 tags and make it write a post for me.

Morning:

Email. Surprisingly not that much for the morning. Hopefully the trend stays that way through out the day.

Podcast Monday! TWiT, Spark, Quirks & Quarks. Anybody else find Calacanis really annoying when he is on TWiT?

I have been trying to been a wee bit more bombastic in each post this week. However, today will be very difficult. A normal two hour commute to work today, took an amazing three hours! Other than that, I spent the ENTIRE day in meetings. The meeting were actually *really* good. And, no that is not sarcasm. You better be incredibly happy you read this post now, and pleased by the included LOLcat. kthxbai.

Day three...

Morning:

Yes, email.
