Daily Thoughts 12/07/2015

I rested on the way to work on the train.

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I also checked the displays and the gift books.

I am training a person to be a computer clerk for the public computers and the computer lab.

I  have the holiday issue of the New York Times Book Review, the December Baker and Taylor Forecast, and two copies of Publishers Weekly to read through.

I did a little more work with programming.

I placed an order for new books today.

I contacted the NEDCC today about what it would take to get a preservation assessment done.

On the way home, I read some of the book, Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey.  It is space opera set in the earth solar system.
