Hey, I got my Upgrade proposal accepted! (And don't say "of course." Believe me, my colleagues have no compunction about kicking my butt when they think it needs kicking.)
The book-length translation from Spanish that I did as an undergrad... I did it because the Vulgate Merlin was (is) thought lost, and what I was translating one of its few offshoots.
This is huge and very cool.
Me: *in grungies at home, doing odds and ends of work*
10:15: *phone rings* Hi, it's Ashley from WMTV. Can you do an interview on the 23andMe bankruptcy?
Me: Uh, sure. When and where?
Ashley: How about 11, your office?
Me, out loud: Sure, I'll meet you there.
Me, inwardly: *FUCK*
But I got my face on and some non-embarrassing clothes, and it should air this afternoon/evening.
Just wrote this. Make this hypothetical project worse!
A rogue librarian with no care for library ethics could design and carry out an assessment project that systematically collects and analyzes fully-identified data on patrons’ use of the library and its services and materials, both physical and electronic, while neither informing patrons of that collection and analysis nor offering them a chance to protect their information privacy by refusing to participate.
