\"Picture_184_1_\"<\/a>I just cleaned this place up! Can we keep it clean for oh I dunno maybe five minutes? ~ The Incredibles<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems that every ship that I come to (with the exception of the flagship) I end up running an inventory. And it\u2019s usually voluntary. Back in the day we used to have to run inventory every quarter, but the practice has gradually fallen by the wayside and on this particular ship the computer check out system had been in complete disarray for I really have no idea how long. The look on my supervisor\u2019s face when I told him I\u2019d managed to fix it was actually almost funny\u2026<\/p>\n

Can we just have one of you on every ship?<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, so now that the system is up and running again, I have to actually get the lay of the land as to what\u2019s in<\/em> the collection, as it hasn\u2019t really been managed for a long time, and the catalogue is incomplete in most cases \u2013 entries with only half of author\u2019s names, incomplete titles, abbreviations that probably only make sense to the person who entered them. It\u2019s a massive job, a full manual inventory can take the entire length of a contract; and it\u2019s a one person job. While in the past I have run inventory with a co-librarian, it\u2019s always a bit of a challenge to figure out where one person has left off and the other can pick up, plus everyone has their own system for doing it. So it\u2019s one of those things where much as you might want help, you kind of are stuck doing it on your own.<\/p>\n

That said, I might rope my Big Brother in to help me carry stuff\u2026except I don\u2019t know if I want to owe him that huge a favour \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Thankfully we only have one sea day on this itinerary, so there\u2019s only one 10 \u00bc hour day of total insanity, the rest of the days are all port days which usually have some blissfully quiet stretches that allow me to get some work done. Not that I don\u2019t always find ways to get work done.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a toss-up at the moment whether I\u2019ll actually finish it. It might be that I don\u2019t get the whole thing done until after September\u2026but at least for now it gives me something to work on at the quiet stretches in the evenings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
