Well, I got great news this week: I've been accepted to my grad school of choice - UW. This fall I will start working on my Masters in Library and Information Science. w00t! I'm psyched and nervous to be re-entering academia. I hope that I quickly find the right balance between work, school, and life. One of the things I'm most excited about is that even though I'll be getting my degree through a distance program, I won't be alone. I'll be joined by a few great local librarians, including D! loved getting my English Lit degree, but I've waited years to be studying this.
It will surely be *deep husky whipser* the most phenomenal library science program ever created.
OMG. Day from the pit of Gehenna. I don't know why, but I
had a really hard time today at work trying to successfully help the
patrons and deal with our new automation system. It was hugely
frustrating and overwhelming. There were so many things it wasn't
doing right - aside from and ontop of my own ineptitudes. Not
searching things correctly, contradicting itself (like saying there are
0 copies of an item and then listing 8 different locations for it),
listing copy info with out a title link, randomly coming up with no
results, so on and so forth. The poor patrons. The poor
me. I felt totally useless as people had to wait twice as long as
normal for me to get them an answer. Most of the people were
really nice, but still. I sucked. Gah. Just had to vent.
