Grumpy

Starting the day with a reference team meeting pretty much ruins every Tuesday for me. I like my coworkers a lot, but there's something about expressing one's opinions about the profession in front of a group early in the morning that exposes everyone's logical flaws and un- or misinformed fears about the wrong direction we're heading in. This morning we had tense discussions about whether a colleague in another branch should work our desk and whether we should start collecting our desk stats using sampling. I respect everyone's opinions, but, honestly, I have trouble believing any of these things matter enough to have opinions about in the first place. I'm not sure if my intellectual curiosity is dead or if it's just been misplaced while I focus on building a better technique for measuring how often I fulfill requests for scissors or a ruler.
