Alaska!
I spent the past week on a cruise to Alaska and it was beautiful! The mountains were beautiful, the ocean was beautiful, and the sunsets were always amazing. The weather was mild and perfect. Here are the highlights of the cruise ( Read more... ) -
You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
I really want a new job. As you might be able to tell from the fact I'm posting this at work (just to flist). I'm getting pretty discouraged at this one. I've been trying to do soooo much to improve myself in my career, and improve this stinking library, but it really is thankless ( Read more... ) -
The Internet is Back!
Katie's boyfriend Drew is officially a miracle worker--after more than a year of trying to figure out why my !@*!ing computer would not connect to the internet, including having 2 different people from my internet company trying to figure it out, he got it to work. And he updated it too. Then, he proceded to connect Katie's computer to our ( Read more... ) -
Melting
It's 61 degrees outside. Why is it 80 degrees in my office?
I just cleaned about 30 years worth of dust and grime off of the library's fan. It's doing the best it can, but I don't know if I'm going to make it through today wearing my sweater. I may need to find a clothing store at lunch to buy a shortsleaved shirt. -

The internet is broken again.
I really hate all automated systems. More specifically, I hate Delta automated systems. -

I've been doing so much lately that I feel like I just need to keep track of it all. I went Sat night to the Metropolitan champagne bar which was so much more fun that I thought it would be. It was for Julie's birthday. I just started getting to know Julie, so I was very happy to be invited, but I thought, champagne bar? That sounds expensive ( Read more... ) -
Super Fat Tuesday
Why do I love America? Because of things like crazy election politics. Why do I love John McCain right now? Because he knew he couldn't win enough votes to get West Virginia, so he called on his voters and had them vote for Huckabee--just to make sure Romney didn't win. How d'ya like that, Romney? I have a mental image of McCain sticking out ( Read more... ) -
EWWW, EWW, EEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!!!
EEEEWW! eeeeew. Okay, just had to get that out.
The really old guy who always comes into the library for research help (a.k.a. wants me to do his research) just came in again. He has NO recognition of personal space. NONE. He usually stands right over top of me and waits for me to do the searches that he needs done in Lexis (because he won't do ( Read more... )
