Started off the day by visiting another Tech morning briefing. I've been going to them all week to promote the ASTC Conference (lots of volunteer spots still open! you don't have to be a Tech volunteer to come play!) and to give updates on the new uniforms (we're moving to black polo shirts and then the VAB will be polling the volunteers to figure out what to do about the mango vests) and the search for a new volunteer manager (we're down to three finalists and should meet the last one next week some time).
After that, I finally had a chance to catch up with Brenda over coffee this morning. She had some great book recommendations which I'll have to go check out (including the one about the MIT guys who went to Atlantic City or Vegas or something and counted cards and beat the house, which I bet Eduard would like if he hasn't already read it). I can't believe I haven't seen her since our book group met in February! Its definitely time to get the group together again!
Then I went to the Joint Powers Authority meeting, the board of elected representatives that run the library system I work at. Lots of interesting things going on, and sadly lots of cuts due to the budget issues.
Then I caught up with Jean to learn what I need to do to request funding of our ALASC speaker series. We have some cool people signed up, but now I have to go figure out all the logistics...
