    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    categorizing and labeling books

    « H E books, film, etc. :: personal :: email
    posted Friday, 1 June 2007
    I wrote recently about organizing all of our books (and mentioned that there were two boxes of books in the crawl space that I was choosing to ignore—I just found a third box). Being the spreadsheet-loving person that I am, I naturally made a spreadsheet to show all the categories of books we have and what percentage of the total each category makes up:

     Yesterday, I labeled each sub-category of books with a copper plant tag, with the tags turned on their sides and the stake parts pushed in between two books. The tags look nice, but are a little difficult to read because the copper reflects light. I thought about using tiny chalkboards for labels, but I wanted instant gratification and I had copper plant tags on hand and didn’t have tiny chalkboards (or stuff to make them with) on hand.
