Tales from the CDG Tardis

Hurry hurry for the sky is falling in

OK so this morning I’d like to share with you a picture of my home town: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7557834.stm

Scary, soggy stuff. My train was duly cancelled and my nearest and dearest drove me to work through an assortment of lakes and closed roads. For some reason our car doesn’t have a hovercraft attachment. Sadly had a meeting to attend otherwise might have angled for a day’s home working.

Two people have commented on this blog today. A worrying trend to visibility. Some of them are not librarians, so my musings will make even less sense to them than they do to the regulars at this poorly-stocked bar.

Need to come up with a slogan to put on some bookmarks, promoting our new Library web pages. All out of inspiration. As you may have noticed. General mood not helped by regular calls from a fax machine. Next time I pick up I may just beep back and try to engage it in conversation.

Launch yet another stock editing exercise today. Boy am I going to be popular. Have provided detailed instructions and pleas for people to mark spreadsheets using actual characters and not just colour highlights – you’d think database specialists would appreciate the finer points of Excel sorting, but not always.

All for now. My morning snack grapes tasted of the pepper salami I had packed for my lunch, consequently my appetite for said carnivorous sandwich is building. Hopefully I will get home without actually needing webbed feet tonight.
