"Bitch, stop taking the glaze."
Um...
Enjoy! - Katy S
We ducked into the Seattle one last week; love that place so much. <3 - Jennifer Dittrich
Not mad at people who get on the bus for a stop or two so as to avoid strutting up steep ass hills.
Might be one of those people --------------> - Derrick
Yeah, I might know the hill of which you speak. Wisconsin Avenue? Something with a W. - RepoRat
We were headed towards Wisconsin but this was actually on Porter. When the folks who avoided the hill by bussing it got off the bus I gave them a head nod and a church wave. - Derrick
Buffalo Trace Stagg Jr. Bourbon - http://uncrate.com/stuff...
"When it comes to big, barrel-proof bourbons, there aren't many that are in the same class as George T. Stagg. After waiting for it to properly mature, Buffalo Trace is releasing a younger version of their award winning bourbon, named Stagg Jr. ($50). The son of Stagg is another beastly entry, clocking in at 134.4 proof, and also happens to be another incredibly inviting spirit. It's unrestrained and unapologetic, with strong oak, vanilla and even some smoky brown sugar flavors that should satisfy even the most hardcore bourbon fanatic. This young buck is poised to grab your attention, and might even challenge his old man for the spotlight." - Derrick
ALSO TAKES STAINS OFF THE DRIVEWAY. (not a euphemism) - jambina
Second Saturday class of the semester taught. *beelines for the Metro*
If you'd seen Kieran and I breaking it down to Britney's "Toxic" in the car just now, it would have given you life. Trust.
OMG yes. - Zamms
I set office hours for the semester today. That's crazy! #realitycheck
And they are.... - Melly #FForever
I heartily endorse office hours where the people are. Along with LOTS of promotion. - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
Oh wait, they're handing out complimentary fresh, hot bags of kettle corn in the quad? BRB.
get me some, wouldja? - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
dude. that's for the students. - DJF
D looks like a student. - ♫Maurice the Dolphin♫
That's not what the email said. - Derrick
Just talked to dadandahalf who is fascinated that I can get around town (and have!) without a car. #socalnative
I used to get so much flak from my parents for not owning a car and (for a long time) not being licensed to drive. It was like I wasn't a grown-ass adult or something. - RepoRat
As you have already figured out, I'm sure, even if you can't live close to AU without spending a fortune being near a Metro station is the next best thing. - Corinne L
I discovered Discovery.
I'm still kind of amazed by the size of it. I knew it'd be big, but it really IS huge. - Derrick
:-) - Brian Johns
Lovely day in DC; brunch with @younglibrarian, rode through what might be my neighborhood, and got around well on the bus and the train.
Katie. <3 - Alix May
Zamms has me somewhat addicted to Top Gear U.S. (Season 2).
I like the original with Clarkson and crew, and immediately kind of panned the U.S. version without watching, but now I'm kind of into it. #marathoning - Derrick
Ben's
Don't forget to try Jerry's, too (seriously, though, Jerry's is a pretty good place to get subs) - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Well that banged. - Derrick
Well now I can say I've had the white pizza from Pete's New Haven. *goes in for another slice*
I love me some white pizza. - Mary Carmen
Hunh. They're apparently right at the Columbia Heights stop. I've gotten off there numerous times but have never actually *seen* them there. Will have to try them out. - Katie
Oh, so this meeting today isn't really a meeting but a party to welcome me and the other newbies to the fold? Well alrighty then.
Surprise!? - That&#39;s So CAJ!
Total surprise. Kept me from picking up a snack in the cafe since there will be "light refreshments." - Derrick
That spinach quiche banged. - Derrick
ooh, yummy quiche. - t-ra is ugly crying
Say you're starting a blog for your liaison area and you want something free, quick and dirty and easy so you can connect to your students, faculty, staff, etc. I know about the biggies: wordpress, tumblr, blogspot...are there others? Which do you go with and why? Thanks in advance.
Check to see if your campus computing sponsors anything. Ours specifically supports Wordpress and we have shibboleth authentication on all of our library blogs, which is handy. I use Wordpress and Blogspot for my own stuff;I find Wordpress easier to customize. - Hedgehog
The library has a wordpress account/affiliation! Good to know and will be moving forward. Thanks again everyone. - Derrick
Email is now working, my badge swipes opens the doors I need to access, and I'm on the desk for my first reference shift in *checks clock* fifteen minutes.
Tell AU to prepare for the Awesome that is Derrick. - ♫Maurice the Dolphin♫
as my spouse used to tell me: "practice good librarianship" :-) - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
Learning about my budget and looking at what faculty are doing in their research areas (and publishing) and subscriptions and new databases, journals, serials, ebooks, etc. and buying stuff. #newbie
so much fun!! - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
\m/(>_<)\m/ - maʀtha
The librarian who was working with my department in the interim wasn't really keen on books (as he bought the bulk of the university's media and was really waiting on the replacement to take over) so making sure any books by faculty published during that time or are soon to be published, are purchased. *clicks* - Derrick
Hanging out with Kieran, watching Mickey Mouse, doing our thing. No big deal.
Tacos.
Hellur. - LB ❤s FF
Even more authentic if they came off a truck next to a gas station. - Julian
Zamms got me liquored up. That's all.
he's done that to me too. evidence from our first meating - https://secure.flickr.com/photos... - jambina
Sad that Zamms never got me drunk. :-( - Joe
Thinking of resuming Team Fitbit because new city + no car + walking all over creation + fat me = sore thighs and maybe weight loss. Hrm.
Morning, D. Do you already own a Fitbit then? - Pete&#39;s Got To Go
Yay! I love mine!! - Georgia
Teaching my first class in an hour. O_O

Gah, you people are having too much fun, too far away. - Meg VMeg
Inevitably I'll let my coworkers in on my love of the chair dance, the head nod and my toe tap. PROBABLY not today. But soon.
First day.
Have a great day! - Trish R
I missed this Monday but hopefully you're still excited. Yay!! - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an

Now we *really* need to set up a DC-area meetup! - Katie
As I finish up cleaning the house, my neighbors just dropped off a fried fish po boy, stuffed shrimp w/ oyster dressing, and bottle of beer. Gonna miss that part of NOLA living.
You've had some amazing neighbors there. Here's hoping for great ones in DC! - Katy S
Aww, that's nice. :) - AHnix (Anna Haro)
My house is empty and my car is gone.
GET THEE TO DC YOUNG MAN! - Hookuh Tinypants
I got less than 24 hours till our move and I just want it to be over already. WE got this. - Mary Carmen
Most of my kitchen stuff is ready to be boxed up.

I misread that as you had most of your kitchen STAFF ready to be boxed. - Greg GuitarBuster
