I went to college...I really did.

A couple of months ago my friend and coworker, Lynne, and I had a very important meeting about our very important book sale. This was a meeting wherein we were brilliant. We solved all the potential problems that we had ever encountered with the book sale and thought of new and amazing ideas.

On Friday we decided it was time to have another high powered, very important, totally amazing, gift book sale meeting. Lynne said "Bring your notes from the last meeting, we had some really awesome ideas and I don't remember what they were."

So I dug deep down into my inbox and found my amazing notes from this stellar meeting. They were as follows:


1. Signs
2. Auction Bands
3. Poster
4. BWB
5. Community Wide
6. Flow


Yep....that's it. For the whole meeting I wrote down six things (although, check out that fancy numbering). Those are my totally amazing notes that I took from our meeting where we solved all the problems we had ever encountered with the gift book sale. Wow, right? 


If I was still working in corporate America, my reaction to this utter failure to take decent notes on my part would have been excessive crying, worrying, and new job searching. However, in my secure and safe little library world the reaction was...extreme giggling. My second reaction was to email Lynne the notes, call her up, and participate in some more fits of laughter. 

Our new meeting on Friday afternoon was nearly as brilliant and my notes are a couple of pages long. See, I can learn from my mistakes.
