So, probably the most exciting thing that happened today was me taking a spilled bottle of apple juice in the lap within the first two hours. Huge wet spot on front of skirt and shirt, sticky juice running down my legs and into my shoes. Fabulous! It was pretty funny though. And no, I didn't knock it over, the girl next to me did.
We spent the whole day pretty much doing nothing. Some paperwork, ID badges, fingerprinting, all which probably should have been accomplished within a couple hours instead took all day. I was so antsy for something to do besides sit around and wait and chat. Oh well. We did get a speech by THE Librarian of Congress, Dr. James Billington, which was cool. That was really the best part. He spoke about the huge advancements in knowledge resources, the role and purpose of the LOC, and about learning new things every day.
I got to meet the librarian I'll be working with, Jane, for about two minutes. She had to close the reading center down just to be able to come say hi then rush back, which lets me know I am in for some very busy days, yeah!
Hoping tomorrow's orientation is not more of the same!
