blanket

Ok. so i was experimenting with different yarns and textures. i made this baby blanket. jer loves it. i can't decide if i like it, but i like the textures all mixed up. since i was experimenting, it's not perfect, but hey. it's kinda cool, i guess. brook likes it. so i guess that's all that matters since it's for her babe, Gabe.

New Job Day 2:

Today I was able to click on a button that was supposed to let me into the program I needed. It worked twice. Once at 10, once at 4:30. The rest of the time was spent clicking the button trying to get in. Ok. I take that back, boss drove us to the two closest libraries today. So that was a nice change from button clicking and yelling at my computer. We have figured out that all of us that are using a particular non-local login are having some sort of IT issues. Not all the same ones though.

Also, my boss is the president of the local Toastmasters. My colleague and I went to the meeting today at lunch. If I join, work pays all membership fees. Thoughts?

New Job Day 1:

1. Logged onto my computer

2. Walked around new building

3. Set up voicemail

4. Boss drove myself and collegue around northern libraries

5. Went home early

My phone has my name on the digital screen. My computer talks to my phone and vice versa. Crazy. All and all, I did about 15 mins of work today. I guess that's what happens when you have access to no programs you should and training doesn't start for a few days.

Crochet/Knit characters

So, about a year ago, I made most of thee little characters to represent my co-workers. There's a few you can't quite see, like the eggplant and monkey with a hat/vest. But you get the idea.

Botany Library pics 3

I've been neglecting to put up photos of my place of work at Botany library. Now as I am no longer working there I am posting pics! hehe. I actually didn't even take these photos. I got them from the files at work. (Don't worry, one of the supervisors knows!) So, that means they're all 6 years old and things have changed a little, but you get the overall effect. The pics don't do it justice though. You have to be in the atmosphere to really see it in it's finest.

I am now on to bigger things as Assistant Digital Analyst (don't ask my what I'll be doing b/c I'm not quite sure yet myself!!) in the Digital Services North/West Team. Eric and I both agree it sounds like I'm following in Dad's footsteps. :-) But with my new job, I no longer work any nights or weekends! So, maybe more time to post???

Children's area and Showcase room. Showcase room is 1 glass wall facing the mall area, 1 wall that hides storage, 1 removable wall, 1 wall the can be flat or slanted in 4 places b/c magazines are on the other side. This room is rented out a lot for things.

What the upstairs used to look like. It's been redone since this pic

Check-in room when there was only one computer. There is now two, so it's spaced differently. What you can't see are all the shelving units and trollies full of items. :-)

View at magazines and stairwell. The small desk on the left are what we call and "Ask Me" point. It's a staff machine to help customers with anything except check-out. There are 3 of them around the library.
