when work interferes with life...

it's been a busy time at work these last few weeks - busy - huh,  it's actually been quite manic!!!

we've been implementing self-check-out 'kiosks' - yes, even my library is going the way of 'self-serve' - which means new processes and a different way of interacting with patrons... we've also 'gone live' with our new website - finally - it's been a long time in the planning, but we finally got it approved and that's been the bulk of my work, getting the content uploaded and making sure it all works fine, links go where they should, etc. etc...

there's been a lot more front-desk to cover with the inevitable workplace illnesses (of which few have been immune)... stress has taken it's toll too with all the change happening, and we're all physically and mentally drained!... i've been trying to keep the library's kids book club blog updated as well - so i haven't had much inclination to blog when i've been home - i've been content to read other's writings but couldn't be bothered thinking or writing myself... 

i will get back to blogging in earnest soon - pentecostal 'jesus camps' and 'crush videos' are two topics that i intend to write about in detail - but not today... for now i thought i would just share a cute video of edgar's mission farm sanctuary resident polly the pig celebrating her birthday a few days ago...

if you're interested you can meet the residents of edgar's mission here...
