Day 26

I will never say never
(I will fight)
I will fight till forever
(Make it right)

Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
Up, up, up, up, up and never say never

Ne-never say never
Ne-never say never
Ne-never say never

---Justin Bieber, "Never Say Never"

Never did I ever think that I would work in an office building where I would have to use a typewriter.  The last few days, while I have been working in the Resource Center on cataloging books into the system. Not only have I learned about categorizing books but I had to learn how to use a typewriter to do it!  The labels that we use for the books do not fit into a printer and the only way we have to type up the call numbers is to use the typewriter in the OSR.  In today's world of computers and technology, I really couldn't have imagined that I would need to use a typewriter for anything...

Day 26 continues to bring new surprises...

The angry typewriter and I had our battles but I believe we are on good terms finally.  I wasted a few labels, typed a few wrong letters (with no delete button), and completely had to start over a few times but in the end the project is complete.  I am hoping it will be quite awhile before I need to break out the crazy machine again!  (ps...this is NOT the typewriter I used but I just thought it was an amusing picture)

Moral of the story...NEVER SAY NEVER!  Here I am in the year 2011, the age of technology, using a typewriter to get my work done.
