Magical Properties

I would love to know what magical properties I seem to have that allows me to make Web sites appear or library card numbers work to allow patrons access to the computer or to make reservations or to make their print jobs appear on the print release station when mere moments ago, when I was summoned like a taxi, these events were impossible. I'm not talking about the the miraculous "num lock" key, which I swear, some days I wish I worked on a commission for that one. These patrons say they did the same thing I did, but when I do it - poof - like magic. Too bad magic fingers don't work on a slot machine or ATM.

Addy Will Know

Librarians have a new theme song by the band SNMNMNM out of Chapel Hill, NC. The song has a catchy tune. The coolest part is the call numbers at the end.

Battle of the Bands Continues

Although it has not been reported for some time, Battle of the Bands has continued on Librarian Boulevard. Since 8/15 we have had the letter "C" posted. This is the letter that started the game and amazingly, we do not have as many bands as I would have thought. The "B" bands made a more interesting list. I am officially closing "C" and opening "L" in a few moments. Let the game continue.

Fantasy Football - Week 1

I feel compelled to make a post about Fantasy Football - Week 1, although I am loathe to turn this blog into Sports Center. Still, it is my first foray into this type of thing and I feel awesome! The Spoffords beat the Statistics by a huge margin and are currently 2nd in the league. I know that will all change, but for the moment...wooohooo!!!

Day 1 of Fantasy Football

I am a proud coach today. One of my players earned 3 points for my fantasy team. I'm sure Vince Lombardi felt this way...after you create the avatar and make a semi-randomly educated substitution or two you just have to sit back and let the boys play and let the automatic scoring algorithms assign the points. I can't wait until my next games. Ah...electronic pigskin.

Fantasy Football

I am excited to report that I am involved in a Fantasy Football League this season. Do I watch football? No. Do I understand football? No. I have house-in-lawed into a rabid Packers-fan family and I have purchased the most awesome Packers-related gifts. No "Cheesehead" for me; I have a Cheese Fez that I wear when my house-in-law patriarch wears the Cheese Crown I bought him. Clearly my ability to find unique gifts and accessories qualifies me to manage a Fantasy team. Our branch league is named for the football call number. Of course I named my team the Spoffords after my favorite Librarian of Congress, Ainsworth Spofford who was appointed by Lincoln. Isn't that how everyone names a team? I'll keep you posted as the season progresses.

Addicted to Blogging

I have a few topics I would like to discuss and I will get back to them in subsequent posts, but I was just catching up with a couple of my favorite blogs and I found an "Addicted to Blogging" quiz. In a short time, I have I become quite the addict. How do you rate? n.b. The quiz seems to originate from a dating site. I was surprised when I linked there from my original source.
