I found doing the library day in the life project interesting, and I have definitely learnt from it. The first thing I have learn is that I would never be able to blog every day, just for one week I was spending most of my lunch breaks blogging, and still needing to finish it off when I got home in the evening, if I want to have some sort of life I just don’t have time for it. My current thing of about once a week, more if I have something else I really want to say, seems to be right for me.
The other thing I have learnt is how much my job is made up of little bitty things when I am not on the counter. Well, actually I have lots of big things, but if I tried to check in the whole backlog of periodicals in one go I would probably endf up in a corner crying at the end of it. I’m quite happy to have quite a few things going on at once, and being able to pick up and drop different things, depending on what seems most important at the time, from what I can tell about library work this is a useful attitude to have.
Lastly, I have learnt that putting pictures of pretty people and double basses from psychobilly bands is much more interesting to me than library related pictures. Go on, one last one, the Horrorpops, possibly the most beautiful person and bass:
