Thing's Im learning!

Yes I am learning. I have heard about a thing called Snagit. It can cut and paste items from the internet the old version is free. I havent used it yet but I learnt this from my co-worker at my new job. I bet you didnt know about this ANDREW! and you too CHRISTIAN! HEE HEE. I love teasing you guys. Well I do miss working in public libraries. Now I am in a hospital library and it is very different. I do miss interacting with the public and I really miss my old co-workers. Well they're not that old (yes they are).

One thing I cant do at my new job is talk with people for too long because I suppose they are busy with research and trying to find cures and all. THis makes me a little lonely because I am used to harrassing the public with chatter. I think my needs are more important than a little cure. Call me selfish but I like a little chat here and there. Another thing is I am actually feeling a little intimidated when a doctor comes along asking for something. All I have in my head is "I cant believe a doctor is asking me something, Like I can help them!"... "You mean I am talking to the head of emergency surgery" God I hope he doesnt realise how dumb I am"..etc etc..

Then there is always the thought in my head of Im feeling a little sore here can you do something about this. How do you think that would go?...

Also I dont think I'll be snagging me a doctor since they're all younger than me. DAMN. When did professionals start getting so young. You know when your getting old when doctors are getting younger and younger. Must get me an extreme makeover.

Enough rambling from me for now. Have to go lie down. Im actually sick today with tonsilitis, so yes I've started a new job and already I have had to take sickies, how embarassing. Hmmm when a doctor is sick do they give themselves medical certificates, just a thought. need more drugs.

New Job

So my last day at work was yesterday and I went to dinner with some work mates. I did nor cry but I was sad to be leaving a great bunch of people. I have made some great friends that I will miss seeing but I have a great job that will see me doing more and best of all it is full time so more MONEY.

This new position is not in a public library so I will miss our regulars and working in the community. I said goodbye to a few regulars and they were sweet enough to wish me well and to say they would miss me. I wil still use these libraries as a patron this means I can annoy everyone, one idea that I got from a patron(he is a joker) is to go in 5 minutes before closing and ask some weird questions, such as I'm looking for a red book, its this big and Oh yeah I need to make some photocopies adn I need to use the computer....hee hee. I wonder how long my former co-workers will miss me!

Well I will miss everyone anyway but I look forward to starting my new position.

PS Thank you guys for the wonderful present. It will come in very handy!

Your Minis

ive tried to use your minis to add it to my desk top but I cant figure out how to do it yet. I think this is great because I would like to have access to technology news on my desktop. Now all I need is to figure this out. I am a very determined person so I'll keep trying. Now I'll go try out Splashup apparently this is similar to Photoshop but FREE. Thanks to webgurl i didnt know this existed. Stay tuned if you care!

PS I used splashup and its great. i am playing around at the moment so I dont know exactly how to use it very well but its fun. ill be telling my neice about this as shes wanted something like this for a while. She wants to play around with all the pictures she has of herself and her friends on my space. She'll be having a lot of fun with this.

Its been a while

So i actually miss blogger. Ive been having a break from all this learning and now Im back! I have been using facebook and I just dont like it. The only thing I see good about it is you can find friends you havent seen in a while as some people seem to be doing, not me. I havent tried to find school friends, since its been a WHILE since ive been to school I have no interest in contacting anyone. If I wanted to stay in contact I would have called them yes I know telephones are soooo old fashioned but its better than this typing business. Actually I dont really know anyone who uses the interent to stay in contact.

Back to facebook, it seems like an advertisers dream. There are all these quizes I keep getting I try to do them but I need to add a ceertain amount of friends to be able to do it. then of course which ever company does these then gets the emails of all my friends cause my email can be seen on facebook also my full name whcih I do not like. Since ive joined facebook I have had many shocking emails from all kinds of businesses of course they are rude pornographic things. You see im not interested in meeting people for intimate evenings whether they are the same sex or groups of. I was also getting many pop ups that my ant virus software was not picking up I finally managed to get rid od them by going to Tools, Manage add ons then blocking it from there. I had to figure this out on my own after I called big pond thinking they could help me and they said I'd have to take my computer back to dell to have a system clean up. WHAT CRAP. Why didnt they tell me to just do what i did. All these problems started happening when I joined face book so GOODBYE FACEBOOK I am going to take my profile off as soon as I can figure this out.

Its back to Blogger for me and learning more about technology at least then I can feel like there is a point to all of this.

The other day I had a patron say how they use Wikipedia with helping their child with their homework, in the past I would have been a bit iffy about this but after doing Learning 2.0 I was confident that this was a good idea and said so. At work they are looking at integrating many of the things we learnt into our web site such as RSS feeds etc. thanks to 2.0 I know what they are talking about and cant wait to see what they come up with.

So BLOGGER RULES!
