So yesterday at the New Job #2 was interesting and productive, I suppose. I taught myself how to copy-catalog books by stealing the info from the Lib. of Congress' Z39.50 webpage. Fortunately my predecessor had bookmarked that website and so I deduced what he had been using it for. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to use the library's catalog software, this ghetto product that had several misspellings and typos all over its website and user manuals. But I ran through the tutorial and read the manual and figured it out. Hopefully I did it right--we'll soon see! This library is so tiny, basically the size of a small classroom. But tomorrow they're moving the books downstairs to the new space, which is about twice as large. I ordered them to KEEP THE BOOKS IN CALL # ORDER! I report back for duty next Monday evening. I hope it's not too scary after-hours, as that's the majority of the time I'll be there. It'll be a little lonely, I think. Pros and cons, pros and cons.
I've been mostly out of the office at Job #1 this week and Admin. is getting a little perturbed that this stupid kiosk project is not yet completed. They can kiss my ass b/c I simply have not been here lately in order to deal with it! I had to teach this a.m., go do a site visit on another stupid kiosk this afternoon, and tomorrow a.m. they've got me exhibiting at the local Guatemalan consulate. What do they expect?!?
Tonight is the HOA Board of Directors meeting at home. They are trying to fix some money and parking prob's. and a lot of us residents will be in attendance. I expect lots of screaming and table-pounding to occur!

"several misspellings and typos all over its website..." Oh I had to laugh because that would absolutely drive me to drink. Blogs are for misspellings and typos(mine is never spell checked for my convenience), not software!!! Africa is a hotbed of bad spelling and typo crime... government documents and official publications included!
