Wrapping up L & P with 10 Random Things

1. It's a good thing that February only has 28 days.

2. Leap day should not be added to February. Why make a bad month longer? Let's add it to June. In that way, each summer month would be 31 days in a Leap Year. Much better, no?

3. I will always prefer reading books to cleaning my house.

4. If it weren't for audio books, I'd never get any cleaning done at all.

5. I would really like a job that paid me to read more. Let me clarify. I do get paid to read reports and email and stuff like that. I would like to be paid to read novels.

6. With winter coming on, I wish we had valet parking at my branch. When I leave at 9 pm, I hate having to clean and defrost my windows.

7. Thank heaven for seat warmers!

8. I'd rather make my own vitamin D, thank you! Keep that sunscreen away from me.

9. Oh yes! I'd also like to be paid to travel.

10. Give me a good book, my passport, a ticket to a warm climate, and I'm out of here!!

The End of Learn and Play

For the most part, I have enjoyed Learn & Play. I've been introduced to some very useful tools (I especially like Wikis) as well as some fun sites. Through helping co-workers, I have definitely improved my own skills, as usually happens.

If CML should decide to have a similar intiative in the future, I think we have all learned that there is a need to allow more time for completion. After all, we know we're one of the busiest library systems around!

MOLDI books

I have downloaded MOLDI audio books to my laptop. Unfortunately, that isn't very convenient for listening purposes. I am looking forward to being able to load these books on my Ipod, since I spend a lot of time listening to books while exercising or driving.
