ruth is that I hate the fact that I am so dependent on my office computer. Of course, we won’t even go into the absolute life-line created by my personal laptop (which is more of an entertainment system than a data device) but my office computer is rather essential to the day to day completion of my job. When it decides to up and quit running – when the darn gremlins get their little hooks into it – then there’s not really much Shadow and I can do to keep the library running smoothly.

No patron database.
Or rather, a patron database that says we have….600 people on board.
We have nearly 2000 guests on board…
Oh dear..
