Thing #22 - What Did I Learn Today?

Almost there! There were times when I got so caught up in all the other things that life throws your way that I didn't even think about 23 Things for days at a time. Then, I looked at my calendar with April 16th circled on it and thought, "Oh no! I have to finish my 23 Things!"

Except you're never really finished. If I learned anything while I worked out in the big, bad world of technology, it's that the shiny new computer with its fantastic new programs sitting on your slightly cluttered desk is already obsolete. It was obsolete before it came out of the box, because everything is constantly changing and evolving. As much as I hate change, I know I need to change and evolve as well or I'll get left behind. Our patrons look to us as gurus, whether it's what book they'd love to read next or how do I get my paper from this computer here to my computer at home without using a flash drive or CD.

So, that said, I resolve to keep learning. From photo storage and manipulation, to blogs and social networks. And I resolve to not feel guilty about taking that time to learn. Even if sometimes it does look like it's really play =)
