And Knee-jerk Negativity Just Never Got Me Through
Bit of a blur yesterday....
Virtual Reference Desk Announced to the library world it certainly had an impact on visits to the site, other than Michael from Ormskirk nobody said hello though! More locally we hit an IT hitch. The thing works with our permission set, but not across the way in WFAS or upstairs in Clinical Governance. I call the Grand Imperial Wizard of the Nonsense Service locally. We chat, it works for him but not on his friendly neighbourhood we don't touch this but keep it here for decoration machine. I've piqued Graeme's interest, he's looking into it. Er... and all this subverts the way we should operate, which pleases me (despite the piss take of the Nonsense role he's another one of the good guys who'll deal with me direct). Result is that you can see the thing in Wigan, Salford, can't use it at Central Mancy Trust because meebo is banned and you can't use the thing 20 yards outside the library in Reggie. Freaky! Invites, Witter, and Mexican Food Get an invite to visit Pat Jones today, yesterday (make whatever sense of that you like) at the Liverpool Film Studios. Not as exciting as making an epic remake of 'Conan the Librarian' (although ask me to cast it and Wigbol Dave is a shoe-in for the lead role) but something to do with a desire to effectively use the Chief Nursing Officer's Bulletin's by jazzing them up a little with some local stuff too. What Pat and Helen don't know is that I plan to drag Helen along because I plan on Helen looking after this bit of current awareness. I'm also flattered that as a service we get described as a Can Do service (think to be honest this translates as a service that don't say no but what the heck lets just focus on the positive!) Conclusion of the day is a demand from Cal to make him some unspecified Mexican food. Cook some sort of bastard burrito type things without a huge amount of spices, create salsa's, fry some fresh tortilla chips to have with guacamole as a starter and make a Mexican Chocolate pud. Not bad for an off the cuff meal pulled together at the last minute. Dinner concluded I read a little of 'A tale etched in blood and hard back pencil' the Chris Brookmyre from Christmas that I haven't had a real chance to settle down with. Enjoy a couple of chapters and exhausted fall asleep. Wake an hour or two later and curse myself because I'm now awake. Doze off in front of the TV. The Waking Dream... Update on Today So Far Wake good and early and relatively refreshed. Not today for me the mistake of thinking it was Decemeber (like yesterday). Usual news run, wash up, into work good and early. Need to prepare for a meeting with Dave B. this afternoon about a VLE learning object the LDB want me to do. I've done fuck all planning or reading about it thus far. No change there then. Right I'm away for coffee having fully livened myself up to the sound of the Psychedelic Furs.
