I’ll Just Leave This Here Redux…

I am *not* having a good August – the tooth ache I had last weekend hurt *way* worse than breaking my wrist and led to some quality time in my dentist’s chair today. 🙁

Music Monday – “Pushed around and kicked around/Always a lonely boy/You were the one that they’d talk about around town as they put you down”

I had the day off so decided to pop out to Congress at the U of R. It was a great day going through the Exhibitors’ Hall catching up with some publishers I knew from my days in that world, meeting some new publishers, talking to authors and so on. Since I rarely get out […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – SLA Conference Bonfire (May 2017) #CFLAFCAB2018

I guess it depends on how tonight’s parties go but I doubt there will be any SLA bonfires since the venue this year is Regina instead of Waskesiu. 😉

Opinion Piece: “On Getting Punched In The Face While Working At The Library”

This opinion piece was written by a librarian in Ohio (who happens to be a FB friend though I’ve never met him in person) but it resonated with me – about some of the “social worker”-type situations library staff deal with regularly (including aggressive patrons – knock on wood, the worst I’ve got was threats and […]

Saturday Snap – [automated voice] “Thank-you for choosing Bell. You can expect a 10 minute wait until we answer your call.”

To be fair, it was about half an hour on hold then half an hour working through diagnosing the issue but still… (Why, oh why haven’t we cut the cord yet???)

Friday Fun Link – Making Friends and Having Fun @rebbrewregina Cask Fest #yqr

I was heading downtown for a different social event after work yesterday when I decided to pop into Rebellion Brewing to have “a couple” samples from the many unique brews at their 4th Annual Cask Fest before carrying on my way. Rebellion is a great local craft brewery but I don’t think their tap room allows […]

Saturday Snap – How Can The Library Help In A Time of Tragedy? #humboldtbroncos #humboldtstrong

In tragedies, most people know their roles… First responders race to the scene to face whatever awfulness awaits them. Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel use their skills to do whatever they can to heal the injured. Journalists try to capture, not only the story but the range of emotions that they and their audience is […]

Calgary Librarian Gives Up City Career To Run Family Farm in Saskatchewan

Technically, I could also give up my library career to go back to run our family farm.  But since I’m still scarred from misjudging the width of a swather and driving it into a power pole as a young man, I think I’ll stick with books and computers instead of barley and combines! 😉 Anyhow, […]
