Where ya been?

For the last couple of days I've been facilitating at a Citizen's Jury for the PCT. It's been interesting seeing real people and reminds me of several things:

1. NHS - people instantly think Hospitals and find it hard to get out of that mind-set - but given some help will get there. This fits in nicely with the licensing models of e-journals suppliers who have this bizarre fascination with numbers of beds and buildings - just hope they're as intelligent as people.
2. Presentation - always remember who your audience is and write your presentation accordingly - don't recycle what you already have - start afresh.
3. Understanding is a journey - sometimes bumpy and rarely direct.
4. This sort of thing is tiring.

Either way it was a fun thing to do.

Pieces of Eight

Stats are sorted, word gets out. I get alarmed at some stuff I hear. I wanna respond to it but am advised not to. Next time I speak to the person concerned I'll thank them for the stuff they did.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day - I celebrate and hurt my throat. Next year I'll have to dress up, I also send a mail out that prompts a few fun responses from the library folk locally.

Chat with G an S, fruitful good stuff and I enjoy the CF chat in the morning.

Home and discover the Romans are Cal's focus in history. Aaargh! I don't do ancient history.

Scream

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Stats...........................................................

Frustrations bubble away under the surface.

Spooks

So much delight at the derby win. Sunday the wi-fi in the house is a pig. Of course this is because I overlook the simple solution - the cat's been attacking the PC! Today I solve it with a huge Homer, Doh! AM news a pig. PM visit Christies for a presentation from Elsevier's. Interesting stuff, some of which may be of use. Home and fling the secret ingredient into the mince and tatties I'm cooking. I'll have to kill you if you ask what it is!
