Tornado Watch

Cool, there's a tornado watch and we might have to close down the library. We haven't had this much excitement since the bomb scare or the time that light bulb exploded and rained glass down on the rental collection. Also, what is it with Wednesday nights and programs/meetings? We have about five different groups all meeting at the same time. It's never this busy on Thursday night. Maybe programming + hump day = formula for high attendance?

Ugh.

I just noticed that no one in the Red Sox lineup is batting over .300. This is going to bite them in the ass (no matter how good the pitching) if they don't shape up.

7 Down, 5 to Go!

I am now more than halfway done with my third (and hopefully final) degree. Hee, third degree. Anyway! It is very exciting . . . soon I will be able to put ", Librarian" after my name in a pretentious way.

I am also very excited to take Cataloging over the summer. I know that a lot of people hate it and would never ever take it if it weren't a required class, but I like to know the logic behind things. And without cataloging, how would we put books on the shelves? One of my professors said that the most important thing to have in a library is good shelf reading (because if books aren't where they're supposed to be, there's no point in having a library). But I also think that appropriate cataloging is crucial, because so many people browse rather than search the catalog . . . I'm sure that I'll have more opinions on this as the course wears on.
