Majiik in the Library World

2010-02-20T23:13:00.005+11:00

Here I am watching TV "Predator" of all things and thinking to myself I ain't blogged for a while hmmm longer than I thought! oh well at least I get there in the end!

I am starting my Bachelor of Information Studies this year and am a little nervous on how I am actually going to fit it in. They reckon it takes 10-12 hours a week per subject....I don't have that let alone half of that so this is going to be a challenge! Not that I shirk away from a challenge but it makes me a little more nervous. I'm also nervous about writing essays again, they are so strict with how they want things out I dunno if I can write like that. It will be a big challenge.

On a lighter note my boys surprise me everyday :) Deccy is in kindergarten now and I miss our morning drives to child care, you never know how important something is to you until you don't have it anymore. My baby is growing up too quick but no more bubs for us, not unless we can have one with no night feeding and nappy changing LOL

Such is life I suppose :) well its time to watch the rest of Predator, til next time maybe in another 6 months or so :)

err just a few months...

Ok it's been a while but thats what happens when you don't have to do something anymore! however I like my blog so should be motivated enough to keep it going right....yeah right motivation and me we ain't friends! lol how have things been in my life....they are ok :) Things are actually starting to feel like they are getting back on track....well most things... :)
My boys are growing up way way tooo quick Campbell can read easy books by himself now and spells out all his words....its amazing to hear him spell out a word that he doesn't know and then be able to put it together...he is really starting to enjoy the whole school experience. He is fantastic at maths (like his mum :)) which I love although soon he will be able to teach me a thing or two or three or four. It amazes me how fast he can adapt at something and master it. The days of beating him on the playstation and almost over I better take advantage of what little advantage I have left!
Deccy misses Campbell so much when he is at school or away. The other night Campbell stayed over at his Grumps' place and I had to deal with Declan waking in the middle of the night wanting Campbell to be home...it was soooo cute! I love it! I had to snuggle next to him and tell him its ok Campbell will be home tomorrow to play with. Then ofcourse when Campbell got home all they did was fight! but thats brothers for you! Love and fight, fight and love its them all over. Otherwise Declan is doing well he has decided he loves dancing at the moment and keeps telling me to watch then he does this cute little dance/jump around with his face screwed up in a "cool" expression....oh my gawd its just gorgeous!
Hopefully I will get back to posting a little more regularly but probably not will do it when I can. Its not like you are waiting to hear every word out of my mouth...or from the keyboard anyway!

Til next time,

Bummmmmmer!

2009-04-14T23:19:00.002+10:00

Well easter is over and did i get a chance to relax ..... hell no! I don't think i have ever had as badly behaved children as i did over the long break.

We went to aireys inlet and was supposed to relax, remember mum, read a book, sit on the beach but no all i got was mum i'm hungry, mum what are we going to do now, where are we going, can i play tennis......blah blah blah i think i got parent tune out! I love my boys but oh my gawd....just stop....breathe....5 minutes peace. Neve gonna happen! lol but thats ok this is a mere passing moment in the scheme of things.

Easter was weird....with mum not being here and dad taking off to newcastle for a few days...it didn't really feel like easter, mum used to do a egg hunt for me, even after i had moved out! then i had kids so it ended up being for the boys! dad put no effort in, not that i can blame him and this promise to mum gets harder to keep. How am i supposed to keep leaving gifts for dad from her to dad on all the special occassions. I think i am going to ask Troy to help, i don't need to be doubly reminded that she ain't here, selfish huh! :)

Oh well you get that! Doc says i'm on stress overload and thats why my body is rebelling against me, hence the need to relax this easter which didn't happen...i dunno how to make it better though...life goes on i have a family, a house, a job....it just goes on.

One funny thing did happen while we were away, it seems my dear darling Campbell has been learning some new words at school.... As i feed one of the owners dogs around the cottage where we stayed my left over bacon and egg roll (and no it wasn't on good friday! :)) the mutt almost took my hand with it to which i burst out laughing at Campbells extremely accurate however naughty it might have been comment of "OH SHIT! he nearly ate your arm off" i can't believe my boy says oh shit...and it was said like an everyday thing...perfect use etc. I wonder how many time he says it as school.....

Ok bedtime! night

webolution

2009-03-12T13:50:00.003+11:00

well i have finished the webolution but it is sooo not the end...i think i might actually keep this blog going i do enjoy it....and i am soooooo youtubing! it was a real eye opener to what else can be achieved on the net no wonder our youth of today are stuck in front of computers, playstations, wiis etc etc etc......its sooo much fun....i do like the singstar myself...at least now i know i'm more able to help people when they have problems.....

at the end of the day though.....when i want to relax...i'll still turn off the computer, make myself a cuppa and snuggle up in bed with a good old fashioned paper paged book........although if i had a laptop..........

Til the next post!

web 2.0 awards list

2009-03-11T16:31:00.003+11:00

now this rocks I will be looking at this more at home there are some that look like a lot of fun but I can't access them at work but I like I like! I picked the cocktail one however it doesn't have cowboys so thats one strike against it but it did tell me I should make a blow job with what in my cupboard...........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. I really wanna try out the hairmixer one...I don't think the library would appreciate being associated to blowjobs and cowboys among a few of the more tame cocktail names....... althought i wouldn't mind a cowboy......

zoho

2009-03-11T16:19:00.001+11:00

I was playing with the slideshow/presentation thing and it would have been a good show but then I came across pics of mum and my heart just ain't in it anymore. It is a really good group of applications to have while travelling using someone elses comp who doesn't have word, spreadsheets etc. Definately is a good thing.

wikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii aieeee aieeeee aieeeee

2009-03-11T15:37:00.003+11:00

Ok Wiki's are kinda cool, they would give good interaction between us and them...errr I mean library customers and staff members, we could also set up like a book review/chat session and other book suggestions. It would be a really good way to advertise events, services etc. Yeah I can see that good things may come of wiki's.......................

oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, the right wiki

Library 2.0

2009-03-11T14:30:00.002+11:00

ok ok I tried...I read one article "Away from icebergs" and tried to read a couple others but the brain just wouldn't take it in.....now I dunno whether this is because of lack of sleep, being distracted about seeing chris issak tonight or just bc I can't be bothered! Anyhow I actually liked the iceberg article and I will be on that ship.....aye aye captain Katie! I think that here at HBL we have already jumped on the 2.0 titanic express, ofcourse there is always more that can be done! I think that 2.0 is what most of us try to do anyway especially in libraries. Yes we have our stereotypical librarians but most of us just want to be able to help provide the information and means that the community wants. We know better than most that if we don't keep up with the times someone or something else will take over and we like our jobs thank you! As everyday life moves faster, people want/need things faster. This isn't always able to happen or not as quick as some would like it to...yes some have unrealistic expectations.... but we do our best. Part of this best is to keep up with what is new, improved, faster, more accurate. If the ship sinks so to speak well I know I have a small library at home if you need something to read.....although it isn't well shelved or catalogued.....hmmmm i'm a bad bad librarian ain't I!
mmmm chris isaak.....baby did a bad bad thing.....woogies wabout wa woom whaking wy wad whing winger waggler....woohoo webolution weirdo what wi wam!

2009-03-10T18:57:00.003+11:00

Well I don't mind technorati but its like everything else on the web you got to weed to get the good stuff. I did find a really good baking blog....well I found a couple actually and it could be good for a look on just to stickynose into other people lives...not that I have the time to do that...I am barely doing this webolution thing......ehh i'll get there it'll just take some concentrating not just stuffing about.... heaven forbid I actually have to work, I might strain something, wouldn't be the brain....that don't work too hard at all.....my eyeballs maybe looking at the computer screen too long...oh the pain, the light, the terror.....or maybe the wrists from typing too much....ergonomic stergonomic the pain, the arthritis, oh my gout.....katie oh woe is me the webolution will be the bane of my existence or maybe thats you...dear katie whe wun whines weast whe wun whines west wi wust wound where whe wun whines west....

ok ok now i know i am aint the most smartest woman of the world.....in more ways than one but i ain't a dumb bunny either and for me this delicious site was a train wreck and involved way too many steps for me. I understand that it is a good resource to see what other people have bookmarked that have similar "tastes" to you but i would rather google and take pot luck because i loooovveeeee google it so rocky wocks, wocks wike wa waddle wa wa wa wawa we wuv webolution.... onward to infinity and beyond to technorati........

My boy at school...

2009-02-04T00:47:00.008+11:00

Well here we are my oldest Campbell has started school....There were no tears, no ka-fuffel at all, he put his bag away took out his book bag, art smock and drink and said bye mum....simple!
now don't get me wrong i didn't want him to cry or be upset but a little something.... i am glad he is sooo confident and comfortable that he can be like that....but a little hug for mum...just a little one! I didn't cry i was ok, he was ok so i was...besides dropping him off at childcare sort of prepared me for it.....however i think when Declan starts school it might be a different story....my baby boys are growing up! looking at the photos though.....they are still my cheeky spunky monkeys! :)

Here I am

2009-01-22T11:59:00.002+11:00

Yes yes here I am, a little vacant but here. At my desk again, blogging is really becoming a venting outlet for me. Mum passed away on boxing day and things just don't feel normal. I mean I know things aren't normal as such but i don't know which way is up, down, backwards, how i should be feeling, what i am feeling, whether i am doing the right thing blah blah blah and honestly its frustrating. I'm sick of feeling like i am going to fall apart all the time, of not being able to cope but then sick of being the stronger one. I don't want people to lean on me, i want to wallow and not pretend its all ok. I don't want people to walk on eggshells around me, if i cry i need to please don't feel like you've done something wrong i just need to. I'm not superwoman and i miss my mum so so much, my whole chest hurts from trying to cry quietly so i don't wake the kids when all i want to go is rant and rave and wail and let go and tell life it isn't fair. I never realised how much i took mum for granted, calling her everyday, talking to her about the books we read, talking about life, family, work, or how much i need to hear her voice, her laugh, her to tell me how she loves me and how i need that now. I miss my mum. Type later....
Love you mum,

Bye for now...

What do you know i slacked off again!

2008-12-04T16:17:00.002+11:00

Well well well are we really surprised that I have once again slacked off.....nahhh not really! :) but you get that.. I'm not phased and I'm positive you aren't sitting by your computers waiting for another post from me! and honestly if you are hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... no comment!

I have been sick first it was gout in my little finger! Loved it! then tonsillitis and now a chest infection dang did I pee someone off! I have a husky voice and a bark like a dog which one would presume suits considering the fact that I can be a b@#%ch (female dog I mean) LOL.

I have been playing for my play week but haven't come up with anythnig worthwhile for my blog afterall it can be nothing less than utter perfection....bc I type so good and speak good engish it betta be! Ok I have plans which involve my pussy-cat (heh nothing rude) and some quotes just got to find some funny-ass pics!

I have also been moping (?) about because things have gotten really bad with my mum and it's just ain't fair. I know life ain't fair but it's supposed to be for me! The cancer has spread through all her major organs and has now spread into her bones starting with her spine. The docs have given her 3 months, how are you supposed to deal with that. As much as I know my mum loves me and she knows that I love her and there is never enough time, its just too much..too fast. She's only 51, she won't see my kids graduate school let alone Declan start it! how am I supposed to fill that hole that will be left....

People keep saying I am strong, at least mum has known my boys, not to look too much in the future - live in the now and logically I know that.... but really my heart is breaking and I can't get past all the hurt, anger, what if's, how will I be without my mum? I talk to mum about everything and I mean everything! To not have her to whinge, laugh, confide and cry with...There's no one like mum.

I haven't had a lot of loved ones pass away so far my closest being my pa some months ago and that was hard, what is this supposed to be like? We are a really close family. Yeah I am being selfish its all about me, mum must be feeling horrible, she has told me she is scared of leaving us...not of dying but leaving the hole that she knows by her passing is going to be there. I keep telling her we'll be ok, we will have each other to lean on, for her not to worry about it, to worry about herself. But will we really? for dad mum is everything, he puts her above us..he is going to be a mess, troy - I have no idea about, who am I supposed to turn to? Yes selfish once again. Dad will lean on me and I will always be there for him, I know my friends are always around whenever i need it and I love them for it but how am I supposed to be strong for my dad, my boys and myself....

How am I supposed to be strong without my mum...

2008-10-16T10:13:00.002+11:00

Here I am today and where am I at my desk ofcourse.....this is going to be such a rant because today is a crappy day...I don't understand the state of life at the moment, I know life isn't supposed to be fair however it could at least give a little theres only so much negativity you can deal with!
Anyway....positive thoughts, positive blog, positive outcome...today it is 10am and I am drinking coke and eating freckles...hmmm I sound like shanksy although she would be eating lollie snakes me thinks! :) and she has cut down on the coke....hmm is that where my extra intake has come from...I must be drinking her share as well... perhaps I should actually look at the next task...nah that would actually be work related and that just soooooooooo ain't wanted today so its ramble time!
My boy Campbell just turned 5 yesterday! BUGGER me where did that go! I keep telling him he isn't allowed to grow up and he keeps saying I have to mum I have to go to school.....NEXT YEAR! OH MY GAWD! as I said before where did that go! He was running about in his superman costume along with his brother Declan and together they were Super-Brothers......

OK, now what tha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
confusing plus and something I will not use however I can understand how some people would be interested in being able to log onto a site and get all the updated news etc they want from one area, but for me.....ehhhh care factor! If I wanna know something....being a librarian in the majiik world or being majiik in the librarian world realistically I should know where to find it easily...that may not actually happen but part of the fun is finding it! I love the research involved in finding information, thinking about where to look, whether its reliable, whether Katie has set me up or not! LOVE IT! and being the freaky creep that I am....

Wause wi'm a wreep, wi'm a weirdo, what wa well wam wi woin were, wi won't welong were..woooahhhh woooahhhh..... wheeeeeeee'''ssssssssss

Some of the photos on there are truly amazing! and before you start yes of course I looked up library related photos! This is only 1 of the fantastic photos I saw and honestly I wanted to put so many more up but that would have taken ages, afterall there are many many libraries around the world! So where am I going to go around the world.... library viewing ofcourse! new, old run down, standing upright, in the country, in the city, in the day, in the night..oh what a wonderful world i will wravel when i wander wound the wagnificent wonders of the wibrary world. Hmm and what shall i call my journey of wonderful wagical wistovery? why Majiik in the library world ofcourse.

Here I am at my desk working on blogging when i should be out working on morning duties, oh the choices of which type of work to do when you work in a library. To shelve, to serve, to perfect order, to resget, to check-in, to housebound, to train, to blog and sometimes....to work! Ok back to the formal, from this course i hope to learn how to do the web 2.0 with knowledge and confidence and be able to help others to learn the web experience. Now back to the day one... Won't blame it on the wunshine, won't blame it on the woonlight, won't blame it on the wibrary, blame the webolution........*michael jackson impersonates* i just wan't i just wan't i just wan't wontrol wyself, i just wan't i just wan't i just wan't wontrol wyself..... and now.....back to work, til next time....
