LibraryDayintheLife

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.

Day Two:

Morning:

Email, email, email, email.

Taught dad how to use Google Docs, and Google Groups. Spent the rest of the morning reading through the handbooks of the MUFA Librarians, MUFA, and University of Ottawa regarding the policies on Academic Freedom and Grievances so that maybe one day we can have sane policies.

Afternoon:

Email, email, email, email.

Library Day in the Life - meme validation below

Theme of the day was SQL queries.

Morning:

Email, email, email, email.

Cleaned up some more raunchy code in a effort to make the theme migration to Drupal 6 less hectic. Lots of SQL queries to un-hack code, and write said code in a standardized fashion. Note to self, do not ever hire immature developers.
