RevGal Friday Five

(Link in meme-roll)
Moments of Triumph Edition
List five triumphs – they can be professional or they can be personal.
  1. 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.
  2. 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."
  3. 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!!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
