The Library Day in the Life week happened while I was out of town, so I caught up and wrote some quick notes as I went through my day today. I’m not going to do a whole week of notes since my work days are pretty similar unless I’m teaching or running around to meetings. I’ll try to do another day of notes for a teaching day.
- As an independent consultant working from home, I usually avoid my office until the coffee is made and I’ve had time to read the paper… yes, the newspaper printed on environmentally unfriendly paper. Didn’t get to the paper today since I’d been out of town for a week and lots to catch up on.
- Caught up on email after a week away, during which I only answered the most urgent emails. A downside of being an independent consultant, you really can’t ignore email, phone calls and such for more than a day or so – even if you are on vacation. Longest I’ve gone is 3 days and all my clients knew I’d be out of touch.
- Searched flickr for library summer reading photos and sent invitations to add them to the 2009 summer reading photo group on flickr.
- Did some joomla troubleshooting for a client. Used Screentoaster to create a couple of short screencasts to guide them through some tricky editing – far easier than emailing step by step directions. (more…)
