symphony

that's the name of the new library system.  nothing to do with music.  it doesn't sing along nicely coz we don't know how to do anything with it except the basics.                    
 talk about stress.  at least we are all in the same boat.  we also jumped on board the one card system so that you can use your library card at several libraries across the state.  eventually all libraries will be using this system.  i had three hours training for this massive undertaking.  ahhh.  luckily i am flexible and used to change.  every day when i go into work i can count on change.  whether it's a new agency staff member or someone has changed the rules or introduced something new and not told anyone.  i am retiring in two years if i last that long.  i spose that if i look at it as a challenging learning experience at least that's a positive bent on things. sometimes i wonder what has happened to the library service i joined all those years ago.  how is it possible to stuff it up so much in such a short time?  i'm working today.  kill me now

  1. I'd say that the only thing in life we can rely on is , death, taxes and change, but then remembered that I need to add something about how everyone is an expert and gives their advice without asking... umm... what's a succinct way of putting that???

  2. Strange name for a library system. I hope this works out for you.

    p.s. I like librarians too.

  3. New systems take a while for everyone to get used to. Once in a while the new ones don't work!
    Good luck with it all.

  4. That is happening everywhere. I was glad to retire so that I didn't have to learn new systems. However, you are right to treat it as a challenge and get learning because it is good protection against senility.
