Moments of Triumph Edition
List five triumphs – they can be professional or they can be personal.
- I cataloged about 30 books pretty much from scratch today, 98% of which were in Spanish. Two were completely from scratch--no one else has purchased them and cataloged them into OCLC--and the rest had lousy vendor records in OCLC that I had to clean up. Five of them were individual books about the members of One Direction. Yes, in Spanish. Shoot.Me.
- I didn't completely embarrass my son when we Skyped last weekend with his new girlfriend. She seems nice. He says she thinks we seem "pretty awesome."
- I'm back into dealing with teenagers, helping out with the middle school Sunday School class. So far I haven't actually shrieked at anyone, though it's becoming more likely every week. The best part though is that I'm NOT dealing with any passive-aggressiveness. Gawd, the last few months of (elementary) Sunday School last year were awful. Grown-ups suuuuckkkkk!!
- I understand* RDA!!! Monday's workshop was really good, and then next day someone posted another really good manual on Autocat, so I feel like a pig in shit with all the newly-understood and -exampled materials I've got.
- I started going to Al-Anon. There's one tonight--it will be my fourth meeting if I go. I'm tired. And this group isn't the one I prefer, but...well, seriously, after one meeting it's hardly fair to bail already. The other group lost a member last week, a guy who was at the first meeting I was at; he committed suicide less than 48 hours after that meeting. There is plenty of pain in the world.
* That is, I know how to create and/or spot a good RDA record. I still think a lot of the changes are pure BS.
