For those who are still actually looking at this blog from time to time (boy has my readership tanked), just letting you know I'm still alive. I saw a mind-scarring movie today (Gamer) and almost have the post for it finished. Also, if you've taken a peek at my Shelfari widget, you might have noticed that I am reading a Western. Yes, that's right, paranormal romance and manga-loving me is reading a Western. Coming up with read-alikes for that one should be a brain buster.
The school year started maybe a month ago. I figured that, being a cataloger, this wouldn't affect me nearly as much as if I were a reference or instruction librarian. Turns out I've been wrong about that. Since I've got a conference and actual vacation time coming up next month, I've got to try to get a little ahead, but things haven't been going so well. I blame our ILS (integrated library system, for those of you unfamiliar with library acronyms). It sucks up all my time and causes me to sweat bullets as I try to advise our Systems Librarian in ways that will make our catalog better without breaking it first. ::shudder::
I'm glad you're alive. My readership has fallen off a bit, too. Sometimes you just don't have the time to blog, but that's fine. Sounds like you're busy!
ReplyDeleteThis might be the first time ever that I'm glad a library (in this case, my library) will be having less money for actual books - there is light at the end of my backlog!
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I guess it's more accurate to say that I'm usually too tired to blog (although I love looking at other people's blogs and have increased by TBR list by doing so - hey, I'm one of your readers!). It's one of the drawbacks of working at a computer all day. After I've spent 9+ hours typing at a computer, I don't necessarily want to go home and do that some more.
Oooh, I don't blame you! I think if I had to sit at a computer all day in a paid capacity, I wouldn't blog at all. Anyway, I'm glad you're back and that the library's lowered budget is actually a good thing for you. :)
