So, on a daily basis I deal with a really tough topic. Not only do I see people cry almost every single day, but often times I provide people with death dates of lost love ones, provide photographs of unspeakable acts, and verify quotes by Hitler.I have been thinking about what other professions deal with tragedy every single day : ER Doctors, Funeral Home Directors, Insurance Agents. Seriously,

With Summer just around the corner, I have realized that my life has been the busiest it has ever been. Frankly, I'm enjoying every minute of it.Since last I posted the library that I work in has opened. So has the museum that the library is contained within.I have spent the last 26 weeks assisting the training of docents, volunteers, and working with other museum staff to get the place up and

With 2009 right around the corner, I have decided that I needed to redecorate a room in my house to make it "more WDL". Which would be the lucky room?It was the bathroom.The design is simple: Vintage Laboratory.What?Don't question my aesthetics.This means that I am using lots of graduated cylenders and test tubes to hold my bath products, laboratory quality containers for my cotton balls, and

Another year has come and gone. For me, it is hard to believe that I've "done it" all by myself...and by that I mean I've proved quite a bit to myself this year. Some of the other things I've learned this year:a)It is super sad when your cat dies.b)I enjoy quiet nights more than going out.c)I want to date myself.d)Special libraries are amazing. I was out the other day, at another kind of library,

When working in a Special Library, one must look like they are in charge. This can easily be accomplished by yelling and screaming at everyone, OR by looking the part.In order to do this, I highly suggest purchasing a military style sports coat. As you can see from my picture, you will not only look amazingly thin, but also emanate a certain "Do what I say" aura. I can't promise you'll look this

One of the hot parts of being a special librarian, who runs his own library...is that you get interns from foreign countries! OMG! I bet you didn't know that.There are tons of perks. Including ordering things from Gaylord, wearing a lab jacket, accidentally falling asleep at your desk, putting people on hold so you sound busier than you are, and no filter on your internet searches!Meet my hot

It's not everyday that you get to build a library.Somehow, thanks to my Library School™ one of my focuses was Collection building. And thanks to my degree, and a lovely woman with fashionably bobbed white hair in Columbus Ohio Library Administration, I popped out of my first phase of librarianhood with a few gold stars on my chart.My first library was an image collection. Upon being hired, I was

Once upon a time, when I was small and naive - I believed in lots of things. I was reminded of this recently, when I called my nephew in NY.One of his teeth fell out. He was upset that the tooth fairy had forgotten to leave a present for him under his pillow. During this escapade, I heard my dear, sweet, Chanel lipsticked Grandmother call - "Look again!"And so he did.You know what the tooth fairy
