Day in the Life of David, Take Two

Remember that I told y’all about Bobbi Newman’s Day in the Life project? Well – here’s my contribution to that. Only doing one day, but boy – it was a doozy of a day!

So – My Day in the Life, in roughly chronological order:

• Met with Cafe staff to get firm pricing for breakfast/lunch for Podcamp Topeka
• Posted a reminder about Podcamp Topeka on Twitter
• Met with Communications Manager about a couple of “interesting” comments to a blog post on our library website
• Took down (closed, not deleted) a couple of comments
• Helped hunt down why some comments weren’t appearing on our website (fixed) and figured out a better way for me to get copied on comments (Feedburner RSS feed was too slow – now subscribed to the direct comment feed, which is much faster for some reason)
• Posted email to all staff in relation to comments and library policies (written with Communications Manager)…
• … then answered emails about THAT email
• Updated by Digital Services staff on our recent battles with the conflicker worm (we won) and our DVD Dispenser (electrical problem)
• Participated in a BCR Public Libraries Advisory Group conference call
• Had another conference call/meeting about comments on our website
• Proofread a galley proof of my upcoming LTR
• One more (late) meeting about the comment (no, it’s really NOT that bad – we just needed to figure out some procedural things, like what to say, who gets to say it, etc stuff)

Now I’m going home!
