Type type type all day long

I have survived another day of entering books into a database at work. I think I have done 780 books so far, with an estimated 500 to go. Maybe more. I have a hard time eyeballing these sorts of things. There are a lot. I can't really do more than 100/day because I start to go ballistic. It's slow going. Title. Authors. Publisher. City. Date. Genre. etc. It's maddening. Not to mention that I haul the books down off the shelves, bring them to my desk, type them, haul them back.

I suppose this is better for my body than running around after sick toddlers but I really need to get some sort of stimulation outside of typing books. Hopefully when the students return they can do the majority of the book typing and I can explore other opportunities. Or something.

I got a paycheck from my first 4 days of work and let's just say it was dismal. It's tough to take a $3/hr pay cut AND drop to 3/4 time. Hopefully something good comes out of all of this because right now it's just stressful. Blah.

Is it the weekend yet?

I know we decided I should do this so I wouldn't be doing hard, stressful social work during pregnancy, but I feel like I stepped back several degrees to sit here. But hey, whatever makes a healthy baby, right?

I miss thinking.
