Canadian Library HR Summit – Day 1

All the problems are solved. 
All the jobs will be filled. 
All other meetings have been canceled.

The crust has been browned. 
You can sell library cards if they're made of art.
MLIS education has been called “rinky dink”.

The revolving restaurant that spun us past Parliament Hill at lunch was nice.
Lunch was like looking into the future.
Have they squeezed the idealism out of me after two years as a working professional?  No.  Yes.

Do I know you?  “I have a blog.”  Oh, you.
Thanks for all who posted comments over at the official summit blog.  Keep 'em coming – I'm reading them if no one else is.
I got name-checked from the podium – more in passing than anything positive or negative.  Still weird when that happens.

I was the hub in a room without wireless.
That allowed me to sit in the back and watch quietly.
I couldn't bribe the other blogger who was a runner with the mic during the Q&A to do a Darth Vader whisper “RETIRE!” from under the table.

All the problems are solved. 

All the jobs will be filled. 

All other meetings have been canceled.
