If you haven’t heard of Library Day in the Life before, here’s the story. (A note on my own participation/list of activities: I have injured the pointer through ring fingers of my right hand, so I am looking for tasks that aren’t typing-intensive. I may learn blogging brevity. ;))
Since this is a 5-7pm desk shift day for me, I waited and took the 10:15 bus in to work, though I read email and checked my social media (G+, Facebook, and Twitter), plus MPOW’s accounts, before leaving the house.
I spent a little bit of time catching up with coworkers, when I got in, then ran “Disk Utility” on my computer (a Mac running Snow Leopard), which had finally driven me over the edge with its constant stalling. CONSTANT. So far, I think it’s running better? We’ll see! I used my little netbook to pull up our helpdesk software and assign the one ticket that was in there. My department is down a Head/sysadmin and a Sirsi Guru/ticket-assigner, so I am “acting head” (which means very little this week–I just need to take our time sheets to the Dean’s office and be generally prepared for problems that might come up) and will be watching the ticket queue all day.
Then I saved a blog post I started on Friday, about Google Plus, and began this post. (Look for that one AFTER my hand is healed. I have a lot to say.)
It’s noon, and I am on my first coffee: a good sign. :)
I am going to spend my afternoon fixing up a bunch of fairly minor things on our hours/location/maps pages, fighting with OCLC’s help department (who seems to have answered my ticket from last Friday in a rush, grr), dealing with my own help desk tickets, and then working at the desk. Plus any last-minute things that come up. Oh! And preparing my “Twenty Minute Training” for tomorrow, a [hopefully workshop-style] primer on RSS.
If anything cool happens, I’ll blog or tweet it.
