Yet another reason to hate the current state of sports broadcasting. They took a week to showcase the spellin' B
on ESPN. This from the same brain trust that has the gall to say NASCAR drivers are not athletes. Yes please let's make sure these
future Librarians* get a weeks worth of face time... uh ok thats great Sports Entertainment.
Ryan Carson put together
a great write up that we all need to revisit from time to time. It is filled with many good resources for having a better relationship with your job.
Speaking of jobs seems folks have started handing out pink slips at
numerous companies (we won't call out any of the villains by name). Not a cool way to get a summer break but if it happens to you try to stay focused on what matters; 1 - Enjoy any break you have, 2 - Look into new fields or chances to do what you have dreamed, 3 - remember why you are working, 4 - ask anyone for leads, 5- Have a plan in place before the ax falls.. yeah I know "shoulda-coulda-woulda" If you need help go visit
Manager-Tools they have numerous resources that can help you get going again and keep the ax from ever finding you
unprepared in the future.
Congratulations to Disciple Design. They won a National Addy for the work on these Bibles. I remember seeing them and wondering who did the very nice creative work - Great job!
The Phoenix project really has produced some pretty
cool photos from out friends at UofA. I am glad they sent that DVD to Mars. I was afraid they would send an 8-Track or something the locals might not be able to play. But as enlightened humans we know that all Martians have DVD players.
RIP Tony Schwartz creator of really great
political ads. Now if only the current presidential wannabes would remember how serious this all is.
* I am not saying there is anything wrong with librarians but they don't need to be on ESPN because ESPN can always show something better, like
Cheep Seats re-runs.
