Doing a refresher on a part of our catalog and its actually helpful. Learning about stuff that none of my prior supes told me about.

I got program ideas.

Adult boardgame night, etc.

But holy shit is this finagled to work in our internal catalog. I'm amazed it works. III helped us out with that. I hope Koha is less bum-jumped though.

Hey,

Does anyone know how to do #ConditionalFormatting in #Excel?

What I'm trying to do is type a single letter into a cell and have it change the cell's color and text.

Example: I want to be able to type "j" into the cell and have it make the cell green and display the name "John".

Is that a thing?
Please tell me that's a thing.

Thinking about work.

I don't think I'm cut out for Admin work. My head isn't far enough up my own ass.

Only reason I went to their glorified pep rally last year, (beyond being required,) was I was paid and got a meal.

I see buzzwords, Vision Goals, Strategic Plans, etc. and recoil like a cat.

Reading a conversation between various librarians and 'not taking on a million new shiny things' reminds me of how my old boss damage sex to do exactly that. He would sign us up for every initiative the admin had.

Really dumb shit IMO like standing at a podium (with no phone or power) and greet people. People would HIDE from us because of that.

Anyway, it was a ploy to get hired in admin at another system.

We'll see what the new boss does.

*Grumbles*

I hate working Sundays. The actual working isn't bad, but the losing one of my days off suuuuucks.

Our library is open every Sunday, but they aren't regular hours. To prevent them from becoming regular, the union does the schedule. So the upside is we get time and a half and are only open 4 hours. The downside is days off aren't worked around.

Poo.

Woo, got tomorrow off.

Good, since I'm working Sunday.

I wonder if the witchcraft or socialism would bring the ire of bitchy patrons more?

Reading about how Barnes and Nobel's reduction in hardcover diversity will negatively affect new author discovery, I just saw this book on the shelf at the library. That's fine here, but it'll definitely negatively affect newer authors.

Well, that makes sense.

My library is also, (for some reason, wigs bigger than mine is deciding thos,) reducing shelf space. But we also predominantly purchase hardcovers.

Our branch is also trying to promote newer stuff more.

...Might suggest a marginalized author shelf too.

Well, this article on Danielle Steel is interesting: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-sublime-danielle-steel/#_ednref1

She is one of the authors that I typically make fun of for having so many books, but with this, my admiration of her has grown. Similar to Nora Roberts, who had to take a pen name so as to not overcrowd herself on the new titles shelf.

(This is as opposed to James Patterson, who evermore feels a charlatan compared to these women.)
