Finally got my huge load of books cataloged and shelved. Now I just need to get all the electronic government documents done, preferably tomorrow, since I'm going to be attended the annual Depository Conference in the hotel across the way for half of next week. After which there are more books coming in, but who knows if we'll be able to do those, because we're nearly out of protective sheeting and "new" labels! Hopefully we'll be able to purchase new supplies sooner rather than later, but you never know, this early in the fiscal year. That's kind of aggravating when you consider the reason we're getting all these books now was because by the time the contracts and money came through, there was only a month left with which to spend it, so we had to order a year's worth of books in September. In other words, the same rule left us with too many books and may not prevent us from dealing with them all.
Tomorrow our Nuremberg volumes get picked up to be taken to the bindery. Hopefully this first pickup from the Government Publishing Office will go smoother than the first one from HFGroup did. I'm not sure any of us are up to walking out there and leading their truck to the right entrance anymore.
Seriously considering leaving Twitter after what they did to Rose McGowan. Have also been very strongly urged to join Facebook, which I still don't want to do emotionally, especially after the latest dramas involving them. Starting to think we the decent people of the world need to start our own social media site.

At times I've wanted to leave both Facebook and/or Twitter. But... if we all leave, who will try to make things better? And who's to say the new place won't get bad, too? Not trying to convince you to stay: your mental and emotional health is more important, and you need to do what's best for you. It's just that your words caught my eye, because this is something I've thought about.

I don't know if it's possible to make Twitter better, if the people who run it seem so against us. I took today off from it, and have come to conclusion that taking days off is a good idea anyway.

Breaks are definitely a good thing.
