I'm at the library, not working for pay, but working for school. I have this awful project for one of my classes that involves massive amounts of evaluations of reference sources. Basically it is easiest to take my laptop to the library and just type the information right in. Plus the library has wireless which allows me to access the class website when I get confused. I'm logging lots of library hours on this project. I also interviewed one of the librarians here over lunch (yummy bbq) for another class. Interviews are common projects in library school. And walking into the library I face planted into the concrete. I was just walking and then I tripped. It is right where there are some steps, but I tripped before I got to the steps, so I didn't trip on them. However my hands hit on the first step and my leg on one of the lower steps. I've got a skinned knee (I went and put bandaids on it in the bathroom, this is why I always carry bandaids) and I have a feeling I'm going to have some major bruises, but nothing too bad.
I started my new job on Monday. I have a feeling I'm really going to like it. It is sitting in the back, not dealing with the public which is a nice change. And I am processing books and going to learn totally different things. Already I learned the correct way to put on a dust jacket. Plus the people I am going to work with are very relaxed, nice people Of course I get a phone in my new little cubicle and a new email account. The phone could be helpful as I put my purse in a filing cabinet and I doubt I'd hear my cell phone. But a new email? Great... Let's list the ways there are to contact me:
I don't think I missed anything, and that is ridiculous. So when people say they can't get ahold of me, I laugh. Of course not everyone has all those numbers. The only people who know all the specifics are immediate family members. The rest usually have one or two options per category.

- Personal Gmail account that I prefer to use the most
- Personal Hotmail account that I use for specific groups and I got before gmail was around
- Personal throwaway hotmail account that I give to people/websites/etc that require an email but from whom I never wish to hear. I go in once in a while, scan for anything useful, and mass delete
- Work email for the public library
- Work email for the community college
- School email they make me have and use for their system which I have set up to forward to the gmail account, I just have to go in and mass delete all the messages which were forwarded so I did read so the box doesn't get too full
Total: 6 email addresses
Phone numbers - Home phone
- Cell phone
- Phone at public library at a service desk that I give to family members though it can be answered by anyone and isn't really "mine"
- Phone at Community College that is "mine"
Total: 4 phone numbers
Other - AIM name (I used to have multiple names, but I only use one and have let the others go by the wayside)
- MSN messenger connected to my hotmail account
Total: two messaging services
