The Now: September 7, 2022

I feel like life has been going non-stop the past few weeks. Usually, I have one "down" day at work each week where I can focus on mindless stuff. Those have been non-existent lately. Even my admin days are full. I'm ready for my schedule to ease up but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon.

Here's everything I've been working on.

WORK
  • Research Assignment Design: I started tackling coding with our collaborative code book. It's a great code book but, since I'm new to it, I am struggling. There are a lot of things to keep in mind and I feel like I'm missing large chunks of stuff. We're meeting to discuss progress and I've not done nearly enough in my mind. I'm going to block out more time on my calendar to work on this.
  • Presentations and Publications: Did a test run of my photography webinar and the real session is tomorrow. Yesterday, I finalized my slides. I'm also starting to brain dump ideas for my presentation at Internet Librarian next month. I'm talking about remote customer service.
  • Reference and Instruction: Our first webinar went well and we had more attendees than librarians which is one of our goals for this year. We're just over two weeks into the fall semester and I've already taught twice. Oddly, only one more class on my calendar. I hope a few pop up.
  • Outreach: Pushing our newsletter some more and getting ready to send out our faculty resource sheets. Also planning some special events.
  • Administration: We had to sit down as a team and work on scheduling. Since things are opening back up, we're having to swap shifts for desk coverage to handle events like conferences and personal travel.

PERSONAL
  • Estate Planning: Not a priority at the moment.
  • Email Newsletter: Paywall is a go.  I decided to make the intros to each paid newsletter free, but the actual countdown is hidden. Hopefully, this piques people's interest.
  • Home Projects: Our bi-monthly donation pickup is next week. Going to do a run through the place to see what I can grab beyond what we've already set aside. Also, grabbed a toddler bed rail because kiddo is moving out of the crib soon.
  • Hobbies: I'm so deep in trying to get to Inbox Zero and Feedly Zero that I've not touched this.
