Week 5

Today I created an Avatar...that was easy and fun. I have not yet figured out how to get it to this page...need a few more minutes for that. Silly me, I want a "download your image here" button to click on (was there one that I missed?), but I don't see anything of the sort. I've always considered myself pretty tech-savvy, but I have come to realize that it is a patience issue. If I can't find it within about five minutes, I do not want to take the time to study it or use precious time in trial and error figuring it out. I'd love to play with my photos on flickr and the other sites, but they are all saved on my home/other office computer and I keep forgetting to email them to myself so I can play with them. A goal for next week...for now I am back to figuring out how to get my Avatar here. Look for it soon (trying to harness the power of positive thinking!).

Week 3

Finally, a block of time to think about 23 Things! My brain is a bit tired...not only am I starting 23 Things, I am learning EVERYTHING in this new job. I've been at it one month, in training the entire time (kudos to CCPL for being the first job to ever train me so completely-everyone has been wonderful)!
So in addition to memorizing user ID's and passwords, procedures and policies, I am exploring all the library-related information and trying to wade through the assignments. Whew!
...Which is not to say it is not fun and interesting, because it is. I hope to find time to get on my home computer and customize my page, because I want it to look a bit more interesting.
7 1/2 Habits - the good news is that I think I am already a lifelong learner. Reading has always been my favorite hobby; it's the last form of "play" that I still manage to make time for.
So the hardest thing will be play, while organizing and disciplining myself to work through the learning contract will also be a challenge.
