Things picking up again. Going great guns at with the Archival work. They will soon pick a special project for me which will be my own responsibility from start to finish. I am piling up too much vacation time, so I have to take a week off (Boo-hoo!) from 4/6-10/09.
I am taking on another digitizing project for a Dr. who has a groundbreaking FDA drug report which is promising to shake things up considerable. I was recently called upon by our new Big Boss to share my Archival duties with the whole crew at an All-Staff Library meeting. I shared a bunch of funny nuggets I had dug up, and it went over surprisingly well. A couple weeks later and I posted to the staff blog a few things I had found from a book about the Library of Congress I had jusst finished. It also got a good reaction. So it looks like more of that is in my future. Next up "Tapping the Admiral", a medical history of Lord Nelson. After that I have other things ready to roll out, like "What's In A Name?" on historical figures maladies as suggested in their nicknames. I also have thing about famous librarian types(Lenin, Mao, Hoover, Casanova, etc.), activist doctors(Virchow, Bethune, Papa Doc, Allende), etc etc etc as the King of Siam would say.
So things are definitely looking up! I finally bought the bullet and signed up for a credit card. I may now commence saving the Republic by glorious spending! Well, a new computer anyways...
