The Now: October 13, 2021

I have been back at the office for almost two months. I think I can now say that I am used to the new commuting/work week routine. Everything has been a bit weird for the past weeks, but I'm glad that I found my footing again. 

Here's what has my attention at the moment.

WORK
  • I save a lot of "hey I want to read this later" stuff. It's in my email, in my work OneDrive, and on various lists. I decided I need to consolidate all work reading in one location. I'm opting to use Zotero for this since it can save all the citations which I can use to track down full text later. I spent a good chunk of a morning simply importing material from my email. OneDrive is next.
  • Still coding the new homepage. I did battle with the footer last week (still needs tweaking but at least it works) and now I'm moving on to the header. I gave the team a look and got some comments for stuff to work on. My hope is to have the bulk of the coding done this month.
  • Our library is a part of a local consortia. I'm working on proposing an interest group related to outreach and marketing. We have a lot of skills and knowledge across our libraries and I would love to work more closely with these colleagues.
  • All the faculty senate committees I am on started their work for the semester. Yeah, more meetings! Actually, they've been pretty good for the most part.
  • Started to prep the content for my presentation at Internet Librarian at the end of the month.

PERSONAL
  • I am still on the hunt for the perfect sofa table. No luck yet. My next move is to take measurements of our current table so I can at least narrow down all the options out there. 
  • Over the long weekend, we took our kiddo apple and pumpkin picking. There are now a lot of images I need to consolidate and share out to the grandparents. 
  • The husband and I are a whole lot closer to being done with our "BIG legal documents you need project." We scheduled a notary and witnesses to help make everything official. Still work to do on this, but just having the unsigned documents has put my mind at ease.
  • An idea has been percolating in my head that I need to start reducing the number of places I keep things. I've got stuff in Evernote, Google Drive, OneDrive, my computer, and a few other places. I know I can't get rid of these services, but I'd like to try to put all the various files in mostly one location. If you've got ideas on that, drop a comment below.
