I feel like such a computer nerd....
Well, we have our new system up and running at the library, and I hate it already. I had one day of training on it and already I am the "boss" and telling people how to work it. It is not complicated! it's all icons and it tells you to your face what each one does. So it should be easy right... WRONG! All the older ladies can't seem to get it and I have been cleaning up their mistakes all weekend. I mean serious mistakes. I have had to re-add in like 40+ cards b/c they didn't do them right or save them. I have worked all weekend! every day at least 8 hours b/c I seem to be the only one who can work this thing! and I have had one day training while everyone else had to sit through 3 days of it. But what I have been doing lately, is finding bugs in it. finding problems that we will have to fix in order to function. The director wanted me to leave him a little note on all the problems... so I had been doing them on sticky notes, till I had a dozen of them and thought better of it and just did a memo to him. Yeah there have been a LOT of problems, but it is things that the computer just won't let us do! I know how to get there, but when I do, it won't take the information, or it deletes it, or it won't delete it when it should. I have no idea! I am just so tired of dealing with this crap, and not to mention a guy I have had to work all weekend with. He drives me up the wall b/c he won't work! he disappears at the most busiest times and you have to go search for him, or he is just sitting at the desk not doing anything, or just talking to people. I get so mad b/c I am working hard on this stupid stuff and he is doing nothing! I would so fire him if I could, but I can't, BUT I did find time to write him up on several things this weekend, so add it to his list of things he does wrong... Sorry I will quit ranting now. I will talk of more normal things....
Well it stormed great here this morning and I got up out of bed at 6 am to write in my storm journal about it. It was very frantic and exciting. The lightning was flashing one right after another, and the thunder was constantly booming, no breaks at all. It was pouring and the wind was whipping the leaves around. I got up and opened our blinds so I could watch it while laying in bed. I love mornings like this. I felt so creative this morning and wanted to write some on a story idea I have had, but I couldn't this morning I didn't have time and now I am here untill five! ARGH! But it has gotten pretty now, I may take Ebony out for a walk and think a bit, then come home and write. Just ramble a bit on the story just to get a use out of the storm. b/c I already feel it's affects fading b/c of this stupidly busy day at work. I am so mentally drained that I just don't feel like doing any thinking whatsoever. Terrible I know. Well, I was on break and now it's over and I really must go. though I dread it. I don't want to go back out there b/c even now they are bothering me with questions of how to do this, or what do I do now, or this won't work. I am soo tired right now. and sick of being inside! I want to be OUTSIDE in the SUN, I may take my comp. book with me to the park, with Ebony, and just sit and write some there. Depending on if Toby goes with me, or on if the weather holds out, it is supposed to rain again sometime tonight or tom. But I guess if it storms it would be worth sitting in the house to feel the creativity it brings, and to be able to use it when it hits...
