Diary 06/20

FT weekend is fast approaching! We leave in 18 days for Pitt. I've just turned in my pamphlet in the LRTL class and am now working on the 15 minute presentation that must be done during FT weekend. I am not the best presenter. I put everything together and then get nervous in front of the group which I feel negates all of my prior preparation... I am going to practice, practice, practice for this presentation. I hope not to use cue cards or any prompts. My goal is full memorization.

Last week I did some staff shadowing. I LOVED IT! I felt like I had the inside scoop on what the library is attempting to accomplish. No doors were closed to me. No questions too big or small. I was invited to attend all meetings and events. I think shadowing is the best time I've had at the library. My goal of being a Director of an Urban library is alive and well :o)

This week I shadow again in another department I have a lot of interest in. I hope to have as energizing a time as I've had during this week.

Now to the garden...I replanted as I planned and have been extremely diligent with watering and weeding. My work seems to be paying off. I definitely see the tomatoes - I may have too many. I also now have definite brussel sproats growing. I still do not see any new kale or basil - Oh well... This garden may not be as prolific as last summers but I'll have a decent harvest.
