Library Day in the Life – Wednesday: In which I am clobbered.

This day was brought to you by the letter <scream>. 9:00 a.m.: Mercifully short atrium meeting followed by the realization that there the only two people scheduled this morning, (as far as info staff goes), are Catherine and myself. 9:30 a.m.: Library opens   x . x <- the emoticon for f#@$ed. 10:06 a.m.: A group [...]
