Yesterday I received my shiny new replacement battery from Apple. My PowerBook did not need one in the first recall, but did from the second. I took the opportunity to gentle “realign” my case and you can barely tell it fell now.
Now, I’m going to need a new battery myself after that little meeting yesterday morning. If we don’t talk about it, then it didn’t really happen? Right? [That is completely rhetorical; that said, smart-***ed is ok, but I can really do without snide.] For now, I’ll be doing a couple hours of work/wk on a thesaurus for now. More later.
Pauline’s class ends today. I’ll be turning in Common Exercise C on Linked Subject Access Systems – Toward Improved Faceted Topical Searching in OPACs and on the Web using LCSH and LCC/DDC. That’s a mouthful.
I’m also leading discussion on the Calhoun Report. My focus will be on what is good in it, how do we “justify” the costs (to others), and how do we pay for it all? [Some of of you possibly reading this need to pick your jaw up off the floor, and/or you are proud of me. Me, too. Both. Growing up sucks, but sometimes just happens.]
I really do like my PowerBook a lot more again now without the explicit dents. I think I’ll have to give her a few more loving taps with the little hammer and the Post-its.
Anyway, so much for any sort of (small) break when this class is over. I can make it to December, I can make it to December… [I can survive December...].
Here’s to everyone’s day! Time to consider getting ready to catch a bus to go finish some original cataloging of a serial from 1900. It is a succeeding title and has a major name change within the 8 issues we have. Our Cataloger’s Destop account expired yesterday. I don’t use AACR2 much, but I still rely on the CONSER Editing Manual. A lot. Should be interesting. Maybe I’ll have to get acquainted with the paper CONSER….
