I haven't opened my mail this week (it's only the end of Wednesday after all); last week's mail is opened and it's sitting in another unloved pile waiting for whenever I have a chance to actually do something with any of it, though all the critical stuff is at least removed and done. The open boxes in front of my desk are the new library materials which unfortunately have arrived just before the Glasgow library moves to the bigger space with more shelving that I require in order to get any of it integrated into stock. My desk appears to be a perilous pile of email printouts from research queries with hand-written scrawls all over them about progress to date; bits of faxes and new floor layout plans. I won't even discuss the state of my unread email inbox, or the other piles of less urgent backlogs behind my chair, mostly cat/n/class, journals to be delved through for current awareness nuggets and material for adding to the library know-how system.
