Used Image Chef to create this flash image. Could create and use a sign like this on blog for the library announceing newly books or services in the library, or a psecial event.
It is great learning new stuff, but I do not see having the time at my job to integrate new stuff into interesting things there. All this reminds of the teachers in K-12 I have worked with in the past who spend hours of their personal time preparing for class and setting up extra fun things for their students to benefit from. They worked and nights and weekends on their own time because there was no time during the school day. It is one of the reasons I decided to leave the K-12 experience behind.
You have to use a new resource often to be able to use it efficiently. When you have to re-acquaint yourself with a resource after several weeks absence, you reinvest precious time that you may not have to give.
We are asked to do more in the workplace with fewer resources with each passing year. I have come to the point where I give my best at work during my work time, but not beyond. I reserve the rest of the best for me and my own projects. When we have more resources and staff at work, fun things, like this, may return.
