Tomorrow is staff day at the library – where I’m lined up for two presentations. I can’t believe what a chilling effect my employment has on my writing here. I need to figure out how to work through that – because I’m doing some good things at the brary and I’m sure somebody out there wants to know. I’ve finished my first screencast – after many a struggle that produced many a learning moment that I will happily share tomorrow with the rest of the staff. It’s interesting that the mistakes are probably the most important teaching points I’ll touch on. I’ll also be talking about the new events and room reservation system the library is trying to usher in that has been shelved for quite some time. I’ll be doing this in an extremely informal manner…hope that’s kosher. I’m pretty sure it’ll be appreciated by the great majority of those in attendance.
Tomorrow is also the arrival of the new Macbook — which ought to help tremendously in terms of comfortable writing spaces. This lappy before me is whirring away right now and can’t seem to handle all the little externals I’m throwing into the mix. Having a modern machine may make tasks a little less tasklike and provide for more memorable moments – untethered by the cords that now surround.
Tomorrow is only two minutes away – so to bed I go.
