So I’m just checking in.  I’ve been really busy at work.  Yesterday and today I have driven all over the county countryside visiting some of our library branches.  Yes, even with having 20 sessions over the course of 3 weeks, I still haven’t reached every staff member to train them on our new intranet system.  So I’m the traveling trainer. 

I must admit though, it has been kinda nice to get out and away from my desk and do something a little different.  Venturing outside the main library’s four walls is not something I get to do very often during the normal work week. 

So even if it was pouring down rain yesterday afternoon as I drove to two different branches, I am just happy to have had the opportunity to do something out of the ordinary.

In the last two days I have sorted through 2,000 photos from an event at the library to decide which 140 or so should be posted on Flickr.  I’ve finished training 171 staff members how to use the new intranet system and have only about 10 more people to meet up with.  I have managed to also get the new intranet system up and running officially and now have fielded dozens of emails and phone calls regarding its use.  And I have made sure that a tree that had fallen onto another tree in my mother’s backyard was cut down completely.  As seen in the picture, the mighty, little pine tree was holding its own carrying the weight of a larger tree.  Unfortunately the little tree that could had to be sacrificed for the greater good.  Busy days!
