Initial facebook usage

Ok, I must be the only person in the universe who doesn't get it. So far it seems to me to be a huge platform for junk mail and spam.

I will grant you this, it has been handy for my husband to catch up with people in his industry that he no longer works with and wishes to keep in touch with.

But all that Simpsons trivia!

It seems to be a very good venue for people to keep in superficial contact with acquaintances and those whom they see at work everyday.

I send text messages for that.

Stupid Facebook!

I am signing up for Facebook against my will and against my better judgement. Who knows what evil awaits me out there?????????????

Library goes poddy - homework assignment

Ah podcasts! I was going to write something witty and clever about marketing the library, but it appears that the library has beaten me to it. Have you seen it: they have podcasts on welcoming us to the library, how to borrow, use e-books, use endnote etc. These are all quite handy and dare I say, very techno savy. But they are one use wonder type podcasts.

Perhaps we need to set up a podcast of Library news; a podcast students could keep coming back to for regular updates on what's happening in the library world.

Perhaps a podcast related to the subject guides, updated regularly talking about a new resource related to that subject?

Podcasts related to databases giving regular updates on database features, changes to formats, or just tips and tricks.

Facing a long Friday

Well here I am at the start of the working day and my gentleman has already rung to tell me all the new people who have become his friends on Facebook. Eeek! Honestly, how does he know that many people?

I don't know where they all find the time to do quizzes and watch You tube clips. I can't even write in my Blog everyday.

Hmm this sounds a bit too cranky for this time of day so I will cheer up. I have the prospect of lunch out today and it is raining, so all things good.

I have also tried to quit the dependancy on chocolate and substituted chupa chups instead. Not quite the same thing but the fix lasts longer.

A decent night's sleep

Yes, I slept well last night. My 18 month old bundle of energy slept well as did my gentleman husband. There was peace and tranquility.

However it does now appear that my gentleman husband has become addicted to facebook - will it all end in tears?

Money spent today is currently at $0, but as it is only 8.30am, this will readily change I am sure.

Chocolate consumed is 0 as well. Today I will be strong.

Isn't Dr Who wonderful?

4.30pm Friday

Ah ha, you are reading this expecting pearls of wisdom and things of arty farty significance. Sorry, basically this will be what ever happens to be in my brain and as it is 4.30pm on a Friday, that won't be much.
I have however managed to hold out against the call of chocolate bars and shopping today, despite being down on the streets in the real world during my lunch break. The weather was indeed harsh and cold, the means streets were indeed mean, but I was heartened by a gentleman who offered to take me for a turn around the town on the grounds it would be most refreshing.
Total expenditure: $12.00 for two dark hot chocolates. (Not shopping but necessary nourishment for the soul).
Shopping and chocolate are my weaknesses. I confess this readily and unfortunately despite all attempts to better myself, they constantly bring about my downfall.
Why do I vex myself so? And how can I bring myself back into good temper?
Is it home time yet?
