zhieMy boss called. Convo as follows:
bossman: I was looking at budgets today
me: *silent thoughtful nod*
bossman: I noticed you are broke.
me: As you can see, I am somehow not surprised by that.
bossman: Do you have more books you need?
me: *thinking: he does know I are a librarian, right* I can think of a few.
bossman: Like, how many?
me: Easily.. I could spend 10 thousand right now.
bossman: How about picking five thousand of that and sending me the orders for them?
me: *joyous internal squee* I can do that.
bossman: No elfbooks though. Those you buy on your own.
~~~
And then, I had two different students come in here and give me the ol' 'pat on the head good job' treatment, which is actually a very, very nice thing, because so little of the time is it noticed the role that the library plays in this place... one of them was an interior design student and she told me she had been overseas recently and that she was just thrilled to realize that the stuff that is hot in Europe is what I've been purchasing books about for the collection.
Yup, yup. Zhie reads the book reviews. It's an amazing concept, but I know there are librarians who don't...
~~~
I am readying my stuffs for Denver. Whew. This isn't as much fun as readying stuff for Florida was.
When I am there, I will have my laptop, however, I doubt muchly that I shall use it very much. I have found the hassle greater than it is worth. But, it means I can still write while I'm there - joy! ^_^
And, I can make voice posts to LJ, and you can believe that I will finally be doing that!
And also, I have my cell phone, which has yahoo IM hooked up on it. However, I don't use my jubatus_rex name for that IM thingie. And because I don't really want to go through and manually add the entire list from the other name (there are over a hundred and fifty people on my IM... I'm surprised I can keep everyone straight; and only about a dozen are TC peoples if that)
Um.. there was a point to this... ah, yes, there it is!
My cell phone IM screen name is rivendellscribe so if you (yeah, yeah, no surprise there, right?) want to help me keep my sanity while I'm at this conference, please and thank you feel free to friend me on yahoo IM.
And if you don't because you've already figured out that I have very little sanity to lose, I totally understand...

Date: 2006-05-09 07:40 pm (UTC)his nickname for me is 'elfgirl' and he sometimes calls and asks 'how are things in Rivendell'
(I have two bosses; this is the boss who is offsite, though, the one who is onsite kinda knows about my obsession as well, he just doesn't make jokes about it.. )
