Look at the beginning of my day
7:15
- get to work
- enter through the first floor doors
- straighten chairs in the popular reading section as I walk past them
- make sure first floor Opac is logged in
- Check to see if first floor announcement board is on
- walk to my office on second floor, open door, turn on light, dump keys and cell phone
- take leftovers to breakroom
- back to office, turn on fishtank light, feed fish
7:30
- go to Circ desk, see if second floor announcement board is on
- unlock doors to library if library secretary is running late
- Login in second floor Opac (because it never stays logged in for some reason)
- make sure public access computers logged in (about once a week check the history on them to see if we have people looking for porn)
- get remote to turn on first floor announcement board if it wasn't on when i came in
- turn on reference desk computer
- answer random email that has arrived overnight
8:00
- drag myself out to reference desk
- check security camera's to make sure they taped and my student workers didn't close too early
- check my bloglines and scan the local newspaper
- invariably this is also the time, at least once a week, that a student comes up with a printer problem in the computer lab (usually solved by turning the printer off and turning it back on or removing the jam from the left door)
- This is also when I should start working on my paper I am writing but often times I let it slide
