Dear patron who’s speaking very loudly in the serials hall
When the librarian tells you to shush, shush!
And you might not feel the need to talk so loud if you didn’t have your head propped up on your hand, with half your mouth covered…
Happy birthday, Kouw! (Hey, it’s Sunday. I needed the sugar to get to work…)
@CCB
Sent you an email.
“You are perfect no matter what, and you’ve hardly gained a pound, Elsie.”
“And that pound and more is all in my breasts. I hope you enjoy it; it’s not likely to go back to the way it was. When I was young, before I got — well, before — I was actually considered flat-chested.”
OOPS!!!!
Sorry, Batwings and Frakcancer. Didn’t scroll down far enough on my blog to see that Frak had already sent you that cake. Apologies to both of you!!
A cake so nice we baked it twice!
Happy birthday, Batty!
I want to learn conservation and restoration of books so much, but the courses are so expansive :(
I too once wanted to be a book preservationist/conservationist, until I learned how much knowledge of physical chemistry you need to have (damn me and my English Lit focus!) I wish I had focused more on the STEM (and foreign languages) as an undergrad so I could have a more diverse skill set now as a librarian. Good luck with your career- it is a hard one but every book historian/conservationist I know LOVES their job so it must be a good one. :)
And yet my daughter, who’s a chemist, can’t get into a conservation program because she didn’t learn art. It’s always something.

O.O RDA? i suppose it’s not richard dean anderson right? XD i might be extremely jealous if it turns out you met jack o’neill!
No, Resource Description and Access, the hot new cataloguing rules.
Come to think of it, though, I now know how to catalog Mr Anderson if I ever got the chance…
I love my job
Got to play around with RDA all day and talk about Downton Abbey and The Hour.
And they even paid me for the time!
