Long overdue update

[thenerdygirl]

So, the last half month has been super hectic and stressful, particularly in terms of work. I was in a flunk for a while, which always results in me being withdrawn online and offline for the most part. I’m happy to report things have gotten better though. I finally got through a pile of difficult work that was sitting on my desk for a while, thanks to finally getting some written instructions at work. Recap, we’re all still adjusting to our new library system with ExLibris Alma which has been....an adventure to say the very least in a positive way.

So yeah, now that work is bearable...dare I say even enjoyable... life has improved. We’re all in the swing of Christmas spirit both at work and at home. John and I didn’t bother with a full size tree since a) no space and b) we’re both going to our own families for Christmas but we did put up a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and we made a wreath for our door:


Anyway, sorry for not being around much the last two weeks. Hoping that now that work is better I’ll be able to be on more and catch up. If I’ve missed anything major I do apologize for not commenting. It’s not for lack of caring, it’s just that I’ve been caught up in my own flunk the last little while. I do think about my friends list and I’m hoping you’re all well.

Nice wreath! For years I didn't do a full tree, I just did a wreath because I had wall space but no floor space; and just enough ornaments to make a wreath look interesting but not enough to make a tree look...fully decked, I guess.

Switching ILS is a huge pain in the ass. What were you using before? I've only ever had to deal with upgrades - mostly in Horizon - and those are bad enough.

Thanks!

We were using Workflows SirsiDynix, which certainly wasn't a perfect system either and is no longer being updated so we had to make the switch. In some Alma is better out of gate but yeah, getting use to the new system and change is still a struggle.

BTW, sorry for the lateness of my reply.
