Library keeper is keeping a library



I have been busy and doing and today became special, since I motorcycled through the beautiful rural and forested country away from I-5, the special smell of ripe strawberries being picked was wonderful. I got to the Library building in Tumwater and watching a mother duck and her one remaining duckling swimming in the pool and I noticed the red winged black birds have expanded from the area I remember them in four years ago.

I report to Laura's office to meet the webmaster, he wants us to use the Wordpress program on the Library computers instead of the .com. I say okay, and show him what we have already and I say I will transfer everything after my Program manager okays content and he promises to send me the link in an email, I give him my business card with my information on it. By the end of the day he still hasn't sent me anything, too busy? I want to get it up and gone public, so I can link it from this blog and visit it or send folks in that direction, but not yet. we are moving at the speed of a very big library -- so slow. Build it and they will come.

I got back on my trusty Triumph and hit I-5 for a speedy return to McNeil Island (speeds up to safe low level flight), even paying six dollars to park near the ferry so I can get there earlier. No walk, no jog, only chin ups I will have to call this a rest day. We did lots of library work and June reports to finish tomorrow, and the draft of the presentation for the WALE conference. Doesn't seem to stop, this train running on the hamster wheel. I was talking to one of my two friends on Sunday and I mentioned that I was going to keep my job on the island, I don't have a chance to get bored - I can get behind, frustrated and overwhelmed but I can't get bored.

I can get behind, frustrated and overwhelmed but I can't get bored... Boy I hear that! Sigh... at least you get to ride a bike to and from. I'd prefer an M-1 Abrams for my commute inside the Beltway. Sounds like your bosses are almost as slow as the Navy :-)
