The Now: February 23, 2022

Short list this week. My attention has been almost entirely on recovering from whatever illness has laid me low the past week. 

WORK

• Lots of work on the interviews for our research project.
  • We conducted another interview. We're up to four now and we are seeing some clear trends. We're also learning a lot of stuff that could lead to later research.
  • Editing transcripts, reviewing transcripts, discussing transcripts. Just a lot of work with transcripts.
• I drafted and sent out our library's subscription newsletter. This issue focused on library anxiety and how to get started on research.
• I taught a class that focused on finding multi-media resources. This is taught by a professor in our digital media program. Since my undergrad degree was in media studies, I have a lot of personal fun with this one.  The downside is that you can't teach ALL the skills of media research in a one shot session. (*complaint of every librarian ever*)

PERSONAL

• Making sure we have enough tissues in the house...
• I created and sent out the February Green Committee newsletter for our condo. I remembered to update the header image this time!
• The electrician came and wired up our new bathroom fixture. It was an easy fix for a professional. The ends of the old fabric-wrapped wiring just needed some better insulation. He was in and out in under an hour. Now we just need to paint the ceiling that was exposed in the process. (The old fixture was much larger.)
