The Now: February 1, 2023

This was supposed to be our first full week of childcare in the new year. Instead, our kiddo got sick at school yesterday and came home early. We decided to keep her home today as a recovery day. She's napping right now (which she definitely would not have done at school) and I feel vindicated in our decision.

Aside from extra childcare, here's what I've been working on:
  1. Research Assignment Design: We finished the first pass of our joint coding (huzzah!). Now we're working on prep stuff for a second round. My colleague is revising the codebook and I'm reviewing our "interesting" code to see if any trends arise. I'm also going to review our research journal to pull out writing ideas and other to do items. It's kind of nice to have this break from reading transcripts for the umpteenth time.
  2. Faculty Outreach: A few years ago, I emailed the Deans and Chairs at our University to see if a librarian could attend one of their faculty meetings. Exactly one got back to me to schedule something. I tried it again last week and several responded immediately. I set up some meetings, drafted an agenda, and divvyed up assignments. I am so excited that we get to Kool-Aid man our way into this. I've found that these meetings serve as a helpful reminder that the library a) exists and b) has we can offer.
  3. Personal Photo/File Management: I've made time in the evenings to tackle the "To Review" folder on my desktop. I've been naming files and sorting everything. (And making a note to go back and do a deep weed, renaming, and clean up later.) I also managed to share out some pictures to our family's shared album for the first time in 6 months.
