This job is weird sometimes

Gail made me wear a colander on my head today. She also tried to make me sing but I do have standards. It was one of the strangest programs ever. I'm pretty sure there are about 50 kids who now think that The War of The Worlds was real and that Mars is fiction.

Another thing that is weird - the word "weird". I always second-guess myself as to how to spell it. Both "weird" and "wierd" look weird to me. Go 'head and marinate on that.

Feb Task: Learn-A-Test

I took the grammar practice test and it was helpful to refresh my memory on a few grammatical rules. I can't really imagine how I would ever use this at the library, but it's good to know about.

June - Newseum's Front Pages

I'm going to be very honest here. Even if it doesn't paint me in a flattering light. I don't pay any attention to the news at all. I don't read newspapers or watch television. I do keep up on music and movies and books, but that's about it. So, personally, I have no use for this Website. And I can't really see how I would ever use this at work, either. Maybe that's because I'm in Children's. I'm not sure. I wish I could post something more positive. C'est la blog.

July: New OPAC

I have to admit that change is not always easy for me. In the training meeting it seemed like the new OPAC was going to be great. But using it is a little frustrating for me. I think that's mostly just because it's different from what I've become accustomed to. It does bother me that when searching for cds, the artist's name doesn't always come up in the general search. Once you are looking at the specific record you can see the artist's name, though. Nancy T. assured me that this is not a Marmot error but an omission on the part of whoever created the record. Shame! I kid. Other than that, I am sure I will soon feel like I can't live without the new OPAC!

Hello. St. Mary's Baby is Trevor from Youth Services.

This is a reference to being a GJ native. They used to deliver babies at Community Hospital, too, but not any more. I wonder why. Could it be that the babies born there just weren't as awesome as the St. Mary's Babies? Perhaps.

I have never blogged before and am generally not very computer savvy. I am hoping that participating in Webolution will help with that. I use iTunes, and Facebook daily but not much else (other than what we all use at work), so I've got me some learnin' to do.
