Thing #1

Here goes......maintaining my own blog is probably going to be the hardest part of this project for me. Talking about myself in not something I enjoy doing a whole lot. Although I am excited to give it a shot.

Being an accountant surrounded by librarians for the past five and a half years has been a very enlightening experience. I do find myself with librarian envy from time to time. In my job, I do a lot of research and analysis, but there are definitely times when my resource-finding abilities are far lacking compared to those of my librarian peers and I find myself groveling at their feet for assistance. Although, and they are usually quick to remember, being the key master of the payroll, I do hold a little bit of muscle myself.

Anyway, I do have experience with some of the 23 things already, but I am looking forward to learning how to make better use of them, as well as learning about the ones I don't know. For instance, it will be great to be in a meeting and when the conversation turns to a discussion of RSS feeds, I may actually be able to contribute instead of having a blank look on my face!

Cheers to Superturbo for all her hard work on 23 Things.
