Two Day 2 haiku for #libday8

Questions, answers, goals.
Meeting for Leadership Group.
Home, TheraFlu, bed.

Short day, short blog post.
Will tomorrow be better
Or merely longer?

Apologies to Josh and Tom Clausen at Mann for stepping on their form.

Day 1 of #libday8

Two confessions: I’m writing this Tuesday morning because Monday was busy as hell, and I came back from Atlanta with a nasty cold so blame any incoherence on the TheraFlu.

Well, at least any extra incoherence.

So, what made Monday so busy:

• Got in by 8, spent an hour sorting through the several hundred emails that were waiting for me post-trip. Got the inbox down under ten, and the to-do list down under twenty. Addressed some low-hanging fruit, like confirming a meeting with a faculty member about digital projects, discussing the orientation of our new ILR reference librarian regarding same, setting up a meeting with our collection development librarian, etc.
• Took a short sanity break with some barbells.
• Got back in time for a meeting with the search committee I’m on. During said meeting, we SPOILER REDACTED SPOILER REDACTED SPOILER REDACTED
• Seriously, y’all don’t expect me to talk about a search committee meeting, right?
• Lunch!
• Got back in time for what was supposed to be a conference call discussing an upcoming digitization projects, which helpfully turned into an email exchange. This gave me more time to…
• …talk on the phone with the UNYSLA treasurer about reimbursements for the Leadership Summit, and setting up payments for our own upcoming events.
• …confirm with the rest of the Reference and Outreach Committee the radical rescheduling of our February events that I arranged for while traveling last week.
• …talk to an SU iSchool student who wants to interview me for a class.
• …finish work on something for this week’s meeting of the Consolidated Libraries Leadership Group.
• …get most of the way through my write-up of the 2012 goals for the Digital Projects Group.
• Whew.
• The last task was cut short because I needed to head to a meeting of the Public Services Executive Committee, discussing a possible revamp of same. That meeting was quite engaging, and took me through to the end of the day.

Then I went home, and took me some damn TheraFlu. The circle is now complete.
