Dis-jarred from "Just the Library Keeper"

Seems like a conspiracy to me, or the inmate patrons on McNeil Island. Last Tuesday was the last day the library was open for business, I closed and left for: Wednesday, working on ILS blog and the State Library Picnic/Barbecue did move the mail at McNeil, Thursday & Friday ILS Conference, where I learned a lot, failed to bring the assigned review and training sheets for The World Factbook, 2008, which I think is a great reference but too costly for the home - lucky there are links. One of the best things produced by the Central Intelligence Agency, I once loved to read their Country Studies.

There were new assignments given, new policies laid out (daily updating of registered users - seems I am always behind when the program manager needs the exact numbers), WALE Conference rehearsal in front of our choir, so we could get some timing worked out and content and I have to go back and rewrite and edit a bit, and piles of plunder to bring back in my backpack on my motorcycle, if it fit. Bookbag for Brisingr with a DragonArt Mythical Monsters is my Window Prize and I should have bought a Lotto ticket, was my lucky day. When we went to talk about processing ILL requests and other things we shared so much knowledge that would speed up operations it was amazing. I always seem to have to invent a way that the programmers put there, but no one told me about. So I have training to take back to McNeil Island to share with my inmate library clerks, I have some new materials to add to the collection, I have several things to do to improve me and my performance and there will be several things that I will forget and the meeting minutes won't be around for a bit to remind me.

So, quiet weekend with my wife, and I am going to the County Courthouse for my Jury Duty. I will not worry about the three days worth of mail, I will not think about the totally stuffed book return boxes, I will not think that my workers will do something wrong and get fired, I will not be sure that all my performance secrets and stash will be discovered by my supervisor during the four days she scheduled to cover my absence of ten days (maybe more maybe less). I only need to bit concerned about my wife, but I prayed on that and it will be.
