A Short Post

Obsolete Librarian Skills
I haven't used all of them, but a lot of them I have--filing cards, ironing spine labels, sorting check-out cards.

I just noticed that Blogger is offering Grand Central beta accounts to its users. D and SR had signed up for accounts several months ago. When they signed up, they picked a number with a local area code for our parents, so now our family in that area can call them for free.

I signed up for an account over Christmas so that our parents can call me for free too. Additionally, since JM and I don't have a landline, I set up our Grand Central account to ring both of our cell phones at the same time. Whoever or whichever cell phone is closer can answer. Additionally, Grand Central has a feature to allow you to change phones in the middle of a call (switch from landline to cell when you are ready to leave the house). The same feature can be used to get both of us on the phone at the same time--just as if we were on different landline extensions. We haven't used that much yet, but it's fun to know it's available, especially since it doesn't cost anything at this point!
