Son of epic email and meetings! <\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/p>\n
7:15 am \u2013 bike to work, clean up, start making jasmine tea, boot up computer<\/p>\n
7:30 am \u2013 minions invade department<\/p>\n
7:33 am \u2013 launched Pandora client on new age radio, open and check tweetdeck, check gmail, feeds, other things, start tea consumption<\/p>\n
7:44 am \u2013 the tea isn\u2019t working. Moving slower than usual today<\/p>\n
7:49 am \u2013 checked work email and calendar<\/p>\n
7:51 am \u2013 received feedback from Dean about epic email part 2. Will have to converse with dept. head about feedback and next steps<\/p>\n
8:02 am \u2013 check wiki and wiki calendar<\/p>\n
8:03 am \u2013 wiki is still intact. That is a good sign<\/p>\n
8:09 am \u2013 meeting with dept. head<\/p>\n
8:26 am \u2013 end meeting with dept. head.<\/p>\n
8:27 am \u2013 ACK! Forgot to put seat cover on bike! Run outside before it\u2019s too late<\/p>\n
8:31 am \u2013 bike seat covered. Composing email to update members of a library working group<\/p>\n
8:34 am \u2013 email sent to working group. Responding to questions about the beta planet toc feed email sent yesterday. (We are just experimenting with this, we don\u2019t have the staff time to devote to the level of routing that we used to do, do you really want to receive C&RL News five months after the publication date?)<\/p>\n
9:03 am \u2013 feedback email sent. Still very groggy. Off now to the copier to copy several documents and mail them to the lucky people who get to read them<\/p>\n
9:22 am \u2013 commented on one of my minion\u2019s sudden quietness. Shared stories about small children being too quiet in the next room\u2026<\/p>\n
9:25 am \u2013 started revising section on video podcasting in the international student outreach article. Office too bright, shut window blinds to convert office into cave. I\u2019m happier with this arrangement<\/p>\n
9:30 am \u2013 writer\u2019s block. Switched to duplicate records report<\/p>\n
9:35 am \u2013 sent out email to catalogers notifying them about the upcoming OCLC-MARC changes. Back to duplicates<\/p>\n
9:42 am \u2013 sent gov pub duplicate to gov pub cataloger. Received holy quest from dept. head to construct report on how OCLC-MARC changes would significantly mess with workflow and local procedures. Also realized that I have a meeting at 10, and should probably get back to work on the article<\/p>\n
9:55 am \u2013 email flood. Need to take care of them before meeting<\/p>\n
10:00 am \u2013 meeting #1<\/p>\n
10:35 am \u2013 meeting #1 done. Lots of email to respond to<\/p>\n
10:42 am \u2013 check RSS feeds<\/p>\n
10:51 am \u2013 time to start the report on OCLC-MARC changes<\/p>\n
11:03 am \u2013 does anyone have any aspirin? Change Pandora station to symphonic radio<\/p>\n
11:22 am \u2013 trying to stay focused on OCLC-MARC changes report<\/p>\n
11:58 am \u2013 made OCLC-MARC changes report pretty, sent off to Catalog Librarian to add her changes.<\/p>\n
12:00 pm \u2013 lunch!<\/p>\n
1:00 pm \u2013 back from lunch. Check slideshare and linkedin accounts for any updates. Switch Pandora to \u201cI miss the 80s\u201d radio<\/p>\n
1:05 pm \u2013 dismayed to hear that one of my librarian friends in WI is walking away from the profession. Tweet-ranted for a bit, clearly need to read things over before hitting send<\/p>\n
1:19 pm \u2013 email time<\/p>\n
1:29 pm \u2013 email dealt with. Now for morbid curiosity time: How much are we spending on the print version of the journals that I have on the beta planet toc service?<\/p>\n
2:09 pm \u2013 done collecting prices from our catalog. I forgot how expensive Haworth titles are.<\/p>\n
2:15 pm \u2013 sent price list to dept. head. Also sent OCLC-MARC changes report to dept. head, after the Catalog Librarian gave her ok<\/p>\n
2:19 pm \u2013 started email to interested AUTOCAT folks who want to help with organizing the information in the listserv in an easily accessible format.<\/p>\n
2:38 pm \u2013 email sent. Sent another email to employee asking her availability to get together for AutoIt training<\/p>\n
2:44 pm \u2013 scheduled first AutoIt training session with employee for tomorrow<\/p>\n
2:45 pm \u2013 double-checked with Catalog Librarian about OCLC-MARC changes report before we make the report final.<\/p>\n
2:49 pm \u2013 finalized draft, sent to dept. head. Also posted to wiki.<\/p>\n
2:57 pm \u2013 still trying to wrap head around new 542 field. Tweeted for help. Responded to emails from AUTOCAT wiki folks<\/p>\n
3:00 pm \u2013 15 min mandatory break<\/p>\n
3:15 pm \u2013 back to work. Emails yet again<\/p>\n
3:23 pm \u2013 I have officially crashed. Read tweets and feeds<\/p>\n
3:34 pm \u2013 researched requirements for presentation proposal. Let\u2019s see if I wake up enough to write something<\/p>\n
4:00 pm \u2013 it\u2019s slow going, but I have something in the works<\/p>\n
4:27 pm \u2013 sent draft presentation for proofreading. Trying to decide if the presentation should be geared towards newbies or ppl with some programming experience. Checked feeds\u2026 yeah, I\u2019m pretty much going to catch up on feeds and tweets for the rest of the day<\/p>\n
4:40 pm \u2013 prepare items to work on tomorrow<\/p>\n
5:00 pm \u2013 (hopefully) bike home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
