The Now: April 14, 2021

It's hard to focus on projects when we have the first set of fully vaccinated grandparents in bound. My in laws show up tomorrow and I simply cannot wait to see how our kiddo reacts to them being here in person and not on a computer screen. I fully expect to cry tears of joy.

Here are all the things I'm trying to focus on at the moment. 

WORK
  • We just submitted our narrative for why we want to hire who we want to hire. This was a tough decision that required a lot of discussion and meetings. It was great that we had multiple candidates to choose from, but it was basically impossible to come to a consensus because each candidate had different strengths and experiences. Here's hoping I don't have to do this again for a long time. 
  • I spent far longer than I probably should have developing my content outline and wire frame for my draft version of how I want our website to look. Categorizing and naming information is hard. 
  • We held the penultimate session in our Faculty Webinar Series this week. Just one more to go! This was a new initiative for us and I am pleased with how it turned out. We are going to assess the feedback this summer to inform how we move forward.
  • I submitted a proposal to speak at the Internet Librarian Conference in October. If it's selected, I get to visit southern California in October.
  • While I was able to attend the Computers in Libraries Conference "in person" there were many sessions I did not get to attend live. I am viewing the recordings of the interesting sessions I missed.
  • In May, two of my colleagues and I are presenting on our work regarding the ACRL Framework at LOEX. We're developing our presentation and proceedings material.

PERSONAL
  • Still adding links to my reading list. It's hilarious seeing the covers of all the old romance novels I read a decade ago. 
  • I'm making final edits on the April newsletter for my condo's Green Committee.
  • I've hit week 3 of my 5K training program. So far so good. The lungs are hanging in there just fine but, occasionally, my legs feel tired at the end. I do need to buy new sneakers. My current ones definitely have too many miles on them.
  • Filed my taxes!
