From the Desk of JC Brown

Notes from this week:

• I've always appreciated Maya Angelou's quote: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." After complaining about issues pertaining to Facebook, I finally deactivated my personal account yesterday afternoon. I just admitted to complaining, yes, but that wasn't all I was doing. I've been thinking about how I could make Facebook be a positive part of my life rather than the negative it has grown to become.  By the next day, I ended up reactivating the account...but with some changes that will be taking place.
• I'm now officially sick with the gunk that's been going around: aches, chills, head congestion, and a sore throat. I feel completely miserable.
• Writing a paper while on cold medication is not only a challenge for me, but I think more so for my spellchecker...
• If I am taking on the project of revamping the museum's military exhibit (yikes), I need to ILL a few books on military patches and purchase the better ones for my collection. I am feeling both excited and bit overwhelmed.
• I am totally geeked that SLIS professor Dr. Robert Holley will be presenting (Digital Resources and the Rural Library: Not as Simple as It Seems) at the Rural Libraries conference in May.
