Feb. 13th, 2007 06:42 pmI probably owe you guys some sort of interesting post by now, it seems I haven't written anything decent here in weeks.
I don't know why, but I seem to be always tired. I have so little energy, I take every opportunity to skimp out on stuff I should do - is skimp even a word? Dictionary says yes, but it doesn't actually fit, but I don't care.
This is how worn out I am, I don't even care about English vocabulary anymore!
Definitely no writing for me today.

agrathea, I did start reading yesterday and finished chapter 1, added some comments. I'll keep going over the weekend, I promise.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, I have been made a beta reader! How cool is that?!
Anyway, back to the whining. I do know the problem. I'm pushing myself like crazy at work, giving myself goals that are almost impossible to reach. I figure I spend about ten hours at work every day, and I don't actually take breaks. And cataloguing is about the most frustrating thing I know. Especially when after the first half hour, I find myself wishing to kill several librarians in other libraries because their utter stupidity clearly makes them unfit for company. My company, most importantly. I don't care if the ruin somebody else's catalogue, just not around where I need to work.
I let my minion do a lot of crappy work today, and also tomorrow. She's not happy but hey, somebody's got to do it, and as her boss, I am in the priviledged position to delegate the brainless, annoying jobs. I got to get something out of this, after all!
I also got her to finally get a move on organising for some books to be sent to other libraries. Some books - well, it's more like probably a few hundred kilograms of books. Volumes and volumes of old journals that we don't need anymore. Too heavy to send by mail, and we don't have the necessary number of boxes anyway. So I told her weeks ago to call the necessary people - whom she knows personally - to make arrangements. Today I basically held her hand through the whole process and it took five minutes to get everything planned out. But I refuse to do everything here!
Argh, I got the headache from hell.
It's really early, but I'm still going to try and get a decent amount of sleep tonight.
