This week has been interesting with regard to my professional life. On Monday I got to interview a quality manager at the Lab about our proposed publication tracking database. It was interesting to get to be in the driver's seat, and ask all the questions I wanted to ask. Kind of exciting. Also got to take the lab taxi, so it was like a little field trip. :D
Today I got to go with one of the Lab librarians, Bill, to teach a very nice customer about Web of Science Search Alerts. She was so kind, and made me feel good about my ability to teach her. Bill was complimentary, as well, so I felt like it was a success.
These are really minor things, but they are exciting to me, because it's the type of thing that I imagine myself doing when I dream about having a full-time job. It's like I'm one step closer to that goal with every new skill that I learn. I am so grateful that I'm not like all those people that went to library school only to learn that they find libraries boring. Those stories make me sad, so I'm glad I am in the opposite situation. :D
Better get my nose back to the grindstone!
