Everybody was making a big stink about in-service day. "Oh, you'll be bored to tears, Amy. It's long and it's boring and it's the same thing year after year." Thanks for scaring the snot out of me, guys.
In all honesty, staff in-service day was actually a blast. The sessions I attended (What's the Buzz About Customer Service?, X-treme Customer Service, and Library Employee: Black Belt Required) were fun and interesting, lunch was good, I got one of those green seat cushions everybody loves, and the 6.75 hours I was there went by pretty quickly. Oh, and I still think the PEEPS slideshow was hilarious.
If you remember, I started this blog for the Web 2.0 Training Program. Don't think I've forgotten! The keynote address was about all that technology stuff (I knew the speaker looked familiar! He was in that SJCPL YouTube video we had to watch in Step # 4!). Well, the program's humble creators and facilitators still had some goodies for program participants. The raffle for prizes was held at the end of the morning shift, and this writer was excited and surprised to hear her name called for the Photo Printer! The HP Photosmart A617 printer looks pretty awesome, and I can't wait to play around with it and print some of my 1000s (no, really, THOUSANDS) of digital photos. Thanks again for everything, Kathy, Kris, and Rebecca!!!
Speaking of photos, just a side note: not sure how many of you subscribe to/read The Schaumburg Review, but remember that squirrel photo I posted on Flickr? Well, I sent that to the newspaper (they have a page for notes/photos from community residents), and it was printed in Oct. 25th's issue! That was pretty awesome.
All right. So, in-service day. Like I said: really, honestly, truly not that bad at all. Thanks to everybody involved for making it an enjoyable experience. It reminded me of what an important, diverse, and interesting job we all have.
I guess the only "bad" thing about in-service day was closing the library for one entire day. The circulation department has a bit of catching up to do! Where's Harry Potter when we need him!?
Until next time, read on!

Dear Amy,
Just read your blog about the Library In-Service Day last Fall by going through your profile on the new "Recently Returned Shelves" blog. I agree with everything you say -- right down to wishing for Harry Potter (although Hermione would probably know the spells needed better).
Keep smilin'! See you at work!
