Today's Top Five Reasons I Love Being a Librarian
5. I work surrounded by computers, books and potential readers.
4. Kids think I'm a genius when I say, "Assassinations? Go to 364.1." The easiest thing can make you look great.
3. Teachers think I'm a genius when I say, "I can fix that for you. Restart the computer and everything will be fine." Another easy statement with big results.
2. My fellow librarians are the most dedicated, enthusiastic educators I have ever met.
1. Professional development includes creating my own avatar. How cool is that? I think this training program will be useful and fascinating.

Reviewing the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial reminded me that professional development will have challenges, that everything won't work the first time, that lemonade can be made from those life lemons. Seeing problems as challenges will be the most difficult habit for me to develop. Maybe it's that half full/half empty glass syndrome. I think my aversion to problems is exacerbated by never having enough time, even if I am "off" for the summer. So now I'm going to think of myself as the librarian who is learning to make lemonade.
