"I am trying to hold in one steady glance / all the parts of my life." — Adrienne Rich, from the poem "Toward the Solstice"

A good day at work

January 31, 2009

At work this afternoon, I had such a wonderful feeling: maybe for the first time, I could really feel how close we’re getting to the end of our backlog. I’ve been plodding through the collection for over five years now – and Becky’s been working on it even longer – and I can finally envision the day when we don’t have a ton of old books and reports to process, but will truly know, and be able to find, all the publications we have in the KDOT Library. It was a peaceful feeling. I was productive today, but also content.

I hope Monday will be the same kind of day. And, it will be Groundhog Day — so automatically, the planets should align to please me! 😉
