NEWT students who haven't yet given me details of your special projects, you're running out of time. This is bad. Madam Pince and I need to use the holidays to catch up on research and ordering in new materials, and it is much harder to do that if we don't know what you need. Really bad. She's asked me to remind you about this, and between you and ( Read more... )

Apparently the books are to be sorted according to title, not author. And I was a fair way into in when I was told the titles beginning with a "The," ie The Mysterious World of Muggles, must be put in the "T" section, not the section beginning with the first letter of the next world WHICH NO LIBRARY IN THE ENTIRE WIZARDING OR MUGGLE WORLD DOES, YET ( Read more... )

May I just say to Mister Boot of Ravenclaw that this football tournament was a lovely idea? Well, since (a) I already said it and (b) it's my journal so I can write whatever I like it (which doesn't mean that I will, unlike some other people in my year), that statement is sort of self-defeating, but nevermind. It's so nice to see students who don't ( Read more... )

My first day of work was alright as far as first days of work go. That is, there's always an adjustment period while you get used to a new place and a new system and new colleagues and new bosses, but I think taking all that into account, it went fairly well ( Read more... )
