So tired today. Feel like I might be coming down with something, and I just want to sleep. But I had to be in early because I have meetings all morning ( Read more... )

The last couple of days have had their ups and downs. Wednesday evening I went out for some beers (well, some pear cider, actually) with several of my coworkers. It was all women, mostly around my age except for one who's been here 30 years, and was my first social outing. We did end up talking shop, but I got my first introduction to office ( Read more... )

Woot!: I went to hooping last night, and even though I was really late and only got about half an hour of hooping time, I think I sucked about 3% less than last time. (I can keep the hoop going for 5-10 minutes at a time now, so this time I was working on bringing it back up to my waist when it starts to get low on the hips ( Read more... )

In today's stack of cds to copy catalog, I came across a cd from 10 years ago called Dreamin', by The Veggies/Bulldozer Band! (The exclamation point is part of the band name, not an indicator of my enthusiasm about them or their album.) It's a locally-recorded and -produced album by a local group, so it's no surprise that it's not in OCLC, which ( Read more... )

Reclaiming the Right to Rock: Black Experiences in Rock Music is underway! Okay, the conference proper doesn't start till Friday. But the deluge of events begins tonight with a boom.

I've been in a funk this week about various things from school to dance to some grove stuff. However, some unexpected good things have happened today ( Read more... )

Sunday I cooked a ridiculous amount of food, way too late in the evening. But that's what Sundays are for, and I generally try to cook enough food on Sundays to keep me in leftovers well into the week. That night it was a whole chicken roasted on a bed of root vegetables (sweet potatos, onions, parsnips, and golden beets), with tarragon-mustard- ( Read more... )

Kind of headachey and tired today. My boss asked me to create an OCLC catalog record for a collection of recorded interviews we have (it's for a grant project)-- she already created most of the record in an Excel spreadsheet, but I have to put it into OCLC and do some of the fiddly bits (fixed fields, etc.) It's not that hard, but I'm trying to ( Read more... )

After weeks of mindless copy cataloging, why do I decide, 30 minutes before the end of my last workday of the week, that I should do some original cataloging on a promo cd that doesn't have a matching OCLC record? *facepalm*
