Spring Cleaning #30: Take a Load Off Our Drives

And away we go....

1-I use the S drive all the time; Mainly for when I send Stephanie T. stuff to print for me. If she doesnt' delete them when she is done, I do next time I am in the folder.

2-P drive is a little tougher. I have put stuff there, but most of the children's stuff is stuff that our previous childrens librarian put there and I only use on occasion. I really hate using flickr because it is so so slow whenever I use it and I don't have the patience to wait, so I will put them on cd's whenever my order for new ones finally arrives. A circ assistant, who will remain nameless swiped all my cdr's and now I have none! I will revisit it later & see what I can delete, if anything...computer is running slow at the moment. Well, I deleted some stuff on p drive and it keeps malfunctioning. Egads!!

3-Can't get rid of much on z drive; need it.

4-Since I've not even been here 2 years yet, I don't think anything that I delete would shock anyone. No, I'm not more organized than I thought I was. I am pretty organized on my computer, it is just my desk that could use an overhaul.

Spring Cleaning #29 Email

Okay-
1-I have my own email account for personal stuff.
2-I already have folders in my work email for a variety of things...srp 2007, srp 2008, schools, volunteers, workshops/conferences, etc.; I try to keep on top of this as emails come in so I don't "lose" emails in my inbox because they took more time than I had at the moment to reply to and then get buried. I cleaned everything out thoroughly in January, but probably could do it again.
3-My address book is already up to date and not too overly big; I update it everytime I get a message saying address is wrong, etc. and don't include addresses I rarely, if ever, use, especially if they easily accessible elsewhere or I just know them.
4-My account is relatively up to date and relatively uncluttered. It could be better, but then I would have to do something like skipping storytime & I don't think I want to do that. ha ha
