Was talking to Helen Carley (Facet Publishing) yesterday and she reminded me that I hadn't put any posts on my blog in over a week. In my last post, I had been talking about the bad weather last Wednesday but had not updated everyone on the beautiful weather that we had last Thursday-Sunday. And it continues today. The temperature is in the mid 70s and is beautiful. Eat your hearts out, you poor cold Northerners out there! It has been a hard week since I last spoke to you. I returned to work on Monday, November 10, to run the library Tenure, Promotion, and Third-Year Review panel which was evaluating two candidates. Later that same day we learned that two of our positions in the library have been frozen for an unspecified length of time. And the next issue was budget cuts and figuring out how to deal with cuts this year and projected cuts for next year. I guess I needed something to do after the Conference, yes? Would love to hear from all of you about your reaction to the Conference this year! Please email me or fill out the conference evaluation form on the website. www.katina.info/conference
