The Now: May 3, 2023

For every cancelled meeting I had this week, another meeting ran WAY long. It's like fate wanted to ensure that I didn't have any extra time on my hands. On the other hand, it's finals week so the reference desk has been light on questions. I did have to unjam a copier for 20 minutes but, in terms of "thinky" questions, we're pretty much done for the semester.

Here's what I've been working on:

1. Research Assignment Design: We are so close to finishing coding. I mean, maybe two weeks away. I am so ready to be done. My colleague said we've been working on coding for over a year. (I whimpered hearing that.) We've got so many ideas floating around. It's time to see if the analysis bears out our intuited findings.
2. End of Semester/Summer Planning: Still working on this. Later this afternoon, I am going to work on my 2023 summer projects list. I throw one together every year and it really helps me prioritize for those few months when my teaching and reference loads are lighter.
   
3. Website Strategic Planning: I got around to giving this website a strategic review. I wrote down what I liked and didn't like, what I want to change, and ideas for making maintenance a little easier. This is home base and I want it to work better.
