I'm so very tired right now. I am waiting for Metro after an extremely long play at the Arena Theater (the home of my Barcelona chair). It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either; pretty heavy-handed and scattershot. And did I mention long? About 3.5 hours.

Last night I noticed that there were a lot of library directors suggesting a registry for hurricane-displaced librarians looking for jobs, volunteer work, etc., so I wrote to our Executive Director and offered to quickly put together a website to provide this service. Overnight I actually dreamed parts of how to assemble it, what parts I would borrow from previous sites, what codebase and function structure I would use. I got the go-ahead to start on it this morning and I dove into it. Unfortunately (or fortunately), by 11 we had learned that Solinet -- a regional library network -- was going to open up their jobs database to all regions to cover this need so my effort would be redundant... something we don't want. I'm pleased the registry will be in place soon, but I'm getting more and more bummed out as the day goes on that I wasn't able to do something tangible. I don't completely trust the donation sites, and anyway, I literally have $8 in my bank account until the 15th. Oh well, at least I tried. It would have been nice, though.

This cold hasn't started my nose running (yaay), just sapped my strength and given me a sore throat and headache (boo). I hope it goes away soon. Oh, looks like Metro's here.
