First week over
Today wasn’t the most stellar of days. I wore shoes that I shouldn’t have. I sat on the ref desk fr the first time and got all the questions that they didn’t think I’d need to worry about that much. I kept forgetting that circulation was separate, and momentarily floundered finding answers to questions that I eventaully referred to them. I’m rusty on Refworks and so I flubbed a couple of answers that I should have figured out if I had thought about it. And I realized that I forgot my train pass on the train last night. I’m hoping it gets turned in, but not likely.
But it wasn’t wholly bad. The week has been a series of welcoming and gentle introductions. I discovered that I don’t hack my way through Pubmed as bad as I thought. There’s an emphasis on production and, equally, professional development. It feels like I will be able to be around for a while with initiatives that I can build from scratch, budget permitting.
So all in all, a pretty normal week. Room for improvement; but if I’m being gentle with myself, that’s to be expected.
