Throwback Thursday – #tbt – iPad (May 2010)

Had a long conversation tonight with retired RPL Deputy Director, Julie McKenna when she happened to be attending a program at the branch I was working at.

I told her how, though we didn’t always agree on everything (to put it mildly!), one of the things I always appreciated about her was her deep knowledge of public libraries.  (we had very similar views on one trending topic in particular.)

Another of the many things we reminisced about was how she had possibly one of the first iPads in Saskatchewan as she bought it when she was at a conference in Chicago before iPads were available for sale in Canada.

She was very brave to let Pace have a look at it at one of the “Books to Beers” gatherings I used to organize monthly for Regina and area librarians!

Wisdom Wednesday – The Best Follow-Up Question A Manager Can Ask

@pursuitofhappening

The best follow-up question a manager can ask an employee who comes to them with an issue or a question is… “Are you bringing this to me… 1) for me to do something about it, 2) for me to give you advice, 3) or just for me to listen?” #Inverted #manager #employee #corporateculture #goodbosses #goodmanagers #businessoperations #operationsanalyst

Saturday Snap – Happy (Early) 17th Pace!

My aunt is here visiting from Kelowna for a month as she always does in the spring and my sister was down from Melfort working out of her Regina office for a few days so we decided to have an early birthday supper for Pace who turns 17 this year!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

We loved that a traveling fair used to set-up in the parking lot of a mall near our house every June since it was cheaper, less busy and more convenient than Regina’s main exhibition and fair in August not to mention a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.
