Two bits of good news today, one minor, one more important

1. Because DOCLINE 4.5 (the National Network of Libraries of Medicine's interlibrary loan system) was released today, I was able to get an upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 to IE 8 at work, as DOCLINE (along with a slew of other things) won't support the old browser. As a result, the page loads that were limping along when I was trying to order interlibrary loans sped up to normal. Yay! Of course, at home, I'm a Firefox girl, but that's another story...)
   
2. More importantly, one of my bosses (the one for the data entry) came to me today and asked if I were interested in rounding out my hours by helping out another department with some additional duties. I said yes, definitely, so soon I should be able to stay until 7 pm (I got off work at 5:30 pm today). My other boss enquired about it; she'd suggested me, too. I really appreciate all the support that they and others are giving me. I'm also finding that as I wear other hats in the hospital, I'm getting to know more people, and several people whose names I don't know, know mine. I think in the long run this will also help my library work; one, I'm getting to know more people and make connexions, and two, I feel more productive and as a result I have been more productive in the library as well. :)
