Cataloging

What are we doing now? We are slowly unpacking our books and cataloging them on an online database. Once we've finished cataloging the books, then I'll tell you more about the website.

We decided to go with the Dewey decimal system instead of the Library of Congress' system of cataloging books. In this picture you can see the 2 piles in front of the vacuum cleaner as part of the 900 series. The longer row of books is the 800 series, literature. Doesn't this library work seem fun?

Jenevieve started working yesterday. She rated 20 non-native speakers yesterday and has rated 18 today. All this is done online so I barely have time to access the Internet these days. I could, of course, go to my office and "work" there. I still have 2 weeks of "free" time.

On the subject of libraries again, we finally got our library cards. The La Crosse main library is much better than Westminster's only library. I haven't been to the Kenosha Southwest library for quite a while, so I can't compare my Kenosha library of today with La Crosse's library. In case you were wondering, I checked out a bunch of books about motoring and bicycling tours in Wisconsin. The La Crosse main library also uses the Dewey decimal system.

Back at home, our laptop has barely any storage space left. We must buy more soon, and we will. We got our new checks today, but the address was wrong, so we had to return them. We will have to fill out all the forms again later this week. Then we have to shred all of our unused checks from La Crosse and Westminster with our bare hands.

After nearly a month of ordering cellphones, they still haven't arrived yet. I last spoke with the company on Thursday who said they would be shipped out that evening and should arrive by today. The sun has set and the phones are not here. It doesn't really matter now. We are both at home and have an operable landline.

Tomorrow we were going to buy a can opener because we needed to use one twice today. But one finally turned up. Too late for use but just before we were going to by a much nicer one. This can opener looks like it's seen better days.

Abrupt end!
