So I'm almost through my first month at "new place of work." I think I'm allowed to call it still, though I'm slowly beginning to settle into a complete lack of routine.
My schedule is still very tumultuous, though I've asked for more shifts that end in the 7 p.m. range. It doesn't make sense to have me come into the branch at 9 a.m. when the vast majority of children using the branch don't arrive until 3 p.m. I left at 5:30 tonight in the middle of a lot of chaos that would have settled by seven (and had last night). If I can swing a couple of those plus a regular closing night...I think it would be a good thing.
Tuesdays seem to be my day for meetings and away from the branch. Lots of meetings and running about. Today was two school visits and a trip to the district office--valuable time spent but it did take me out of my four walls. There's a lot of organization that needs to be done still but I'm starting to make a dent in things that I think will be important. Did I mention that my trunk is full of tubs and baskets? I haven't started taking those in yet--it's going to be organization by stealth. Pay no attention to the Children's Librarian with the baskets....
I have an article due in June but now I have to hop through a bunch of hoops--so that needs to get started NOW so it's into the hoops in May and to the editor by June. I'm also hoping to get information about doing book reviews...
