So tomorrow is RPL’s annual staff conference and I’ll be receiving my five year pin which officially marks this as the job I’ve held the longest in my adult life since convocating with an undergrad degree in 1996 (although to be fair, I’ve been in four different positions over five years so I’m keeping up my […]
I’m not too interested in policing how people use Facebook – I have my share of Facebook friends who vaguebook, overshare, “envy post” and so on and either enjoy or ignore their posts as required. Plus I probably do these things myself too on occasion but at the same time, when I post a cute […]
It’s flown by but today marks one month since I started as the Branch Manager at RPL’s Regent Place Branch. One word that keeps popping in to my head when I think about my new job is “comfortable”. What I mean by that is any new job, even one you want or are looking forward […]

For the past few weeks, Reddit Gold members (those who pay an annual subscription fee) have been able to beta-test a new feature called Multi-Reddits. That feature has now gone live for all Reddit members. With thousands of sub-reddits, it’s difficult to keep track of them all. Multi-reddits allow you to combine similar reddits into […]
Was out on the Reference Desk covering a lunch break again today. Instead of going by memory, I consciously made notes to myself about the questions I answered which I thought would be an interesting companion to yesterday’s post on the same topic… The current time in Zurich, Switzerland Help printing an e-mail (our PAC’s […]
