DayintheLife#7: Wednesday-Friday

Wednesday:

Celebrate the end of my summer contract hours by only working 2 hours on my citation video project.  All work and no play, don’t you know.  Too tired even to run today.

Thursday:

Work another 2 hours on citation videos  – now have 2 complete.  Drop son off at home after XC practice and drive into the office for a meeting on the migration of NetLibrary content to EBSCOhost.  Spend the next three hours getting updates on projects from staff.  Budget projections are looking pretty dire – we may need to make some unpopular decisions this fall.  Added staff member to this blog in hopes that she will write about all the cool things happening in periodicals – especially highlighting some of our hidden treasures.  End the day as usual at the YMCA with a 5K run.

Friday:

Another several hours on citation videos.  Finally discovered an easy way to play the content in PowerPoint while recording in Jing.  I quickly re-record my first 2 videos (now half the file size as the originals and much easier to view) and move on to the third.

I still need to call two vendors today about new databases; I wish there was a 24-hour rule in responding to customer requests.
