Cyclones at home and at sea

Well the threat of Cyclone Hamish is still present . Winds are pretty strong but no rain today. The cyclone has made us become more aware of tidying up and keeping everything in order. It reminds me a little of working in the school library. Roy has mentioned the necessity to be organised and prioritise your time to which I totally agree. The problem with being organised is that as a TL you also need to be flexible. IT problems, class scheduling, timetable changes, library assistants sick and not being replaced, the list of interruptions is endless. How you handle these irritations will determine whether you are organised or not. Sometimes you have to ignore the reshelving, cataloguing etc. just to make it through the day. Somehow we manage to get everything done and still peruse snippets of educational and literary journals. It is not superhuman powers at work . It is the ability to manage our time and priorise our tasks that will get us through the day.
