The Now: June 7, 2023

When I walked outside today, I could smell the smoke in the air. DC is now getting hit by the air from the wildfires in Canada. The next few days look to be inside days. I least that makes me feel less bad about sitting online.
​
Here's where my focus is at:

1. CALM Conference - This online conference is one of my favorites. As a presenter (my session was yesterday), the team is great to work with. As an attendee, the content is inclusive and useful. While the sessions focus on academic library management, there is a lot of cross-over with customer service, outreach, and basic office skills. I always get something out of these sessions. Best of all, they're recorded and posted for free on YouTube. I get to catch up on what I missed later.
2. Email Dig Out - Between the conferences and my long weekend getaway, my inboxes are a disaster. I'm just unburying and hope to get caught up by Friday. So much deleting!
3. Random Planning - I spent some time planning out my newsletter content for the next few weeks. I'm also putting together plans and lists for my time off in July and August. Some of the projects I want to tackle will need "stuff" so I want to have that all laid out so I can hit the ground running when those weeks roll around.
