I knew I liked Slacker Manager for more than just the name and the pearls (of wisdom). Learning about this: The five day weekend » Slacker Manager is yet another reason.
The Work Less Express sounds like an idea whose time has come. I wonder if I have a way to clandestinely do something like this at work?
and this has to be the best snippet: (assuming I got the code right, of course; otherwise, hit the link & see the third snippet)

Q. Who are you people? A bunch of slackers and hippies? A. No, we’re the anti-slackers. Roy explains:

The background music in this clip remind me of “The Horn Guy” (youtube clip below) and “Jack Jack Attacks” (a bonus short on the “The Incredibles” DVD)

So, I guess it’s time to put the question to my regular readers (who are apparently a little more regular visitors to this blog than I am) what was I going to say about these that makes good juxtipositive sense?

So, Meebo, the fabulous web-based chat account combo-site, has a new feature called Meebo Rooms. If you want to chat with/about me (and want me to know what you’ve said) you can use my Meebo Room. One of the many Rooms available is the Library Society of the World Room - I’m a member there, and will be joining others, I’m sure
These laws explain much that I did not understand half my life ago, when I was young, single, and in love with everyone. Heck, they even mostly explain my current family (and occasionally work/profession, too) dynamics
From my days as a librarian in public libraries (Chattanooga (1996-1997) & (Brooklyn (1995)) and as library technical assistant (NYPL Research Library on 42nd & 5th (1991-1993) I can say that the homeless situation is not really a “new” phenominon. While I was more aware of the less-than-mentally-healthy people when I wasn’t in NYC, we had plenty of patrons in all three public libraries that I watched pretty closely — my attitude adjustment specialist job history meant I was usually in “bouncer mode” when certian patrons came in just in case an incident occurred.
If you have not read (and told people about) this article, I encourage you to spread the word about how libraries have taken on a social support safety net role in communities which, if they go away, will leave many poorly served, needy people without any help at all. Yes, that is a plaintive bleat; but it’s nonetheless true.
Friday I turned 39 and I again realized I’m probably more than halfway through my alotted span (even though my lovely wife hates it when I say stuff like that) and I really ought to get going since I’m less that halfway along on my “things I want to do and get done” list (which I don’t have in hard or online copy anywhere).
Right, so I’ve got a huge backlog of emails, links, twits, and blog musings and conference follwow-ups and stuff that I really ought to get going on. Enough laurels squatting, time to fire it up and git-r-done…
Sharon, the nice CSA trainer, demo’d RefWorks for us today. mmm… yummy goodness… er… you realize I’m talking about the software, right?
Loads o’work (yay, someone else (Doug) is honcho’ing the content) getting RefWorks related pages up and going - we’ve already got one classroom faculty evangelist too. Woohoo, this may just encourage me to start researching again (my paper trail sort of always seems to trail off…)
PS Happy 10th b-day to my daughter (omg, I’m old)
Forgot to mention, after I got back to Clinton (from Springfield, MA) I showed off my brandy new headlight and my ticket was fixed (well, sorta fixed, I have to wait a few months to not hear back , then all will be fine)
