Praise for the obnoxious librarian from hades
The one where Kevin ruins my day
The one where no book gets left behind
The one where trouble is announced
The one where finance gets lost
The one where good advice turns bad
The one where a plan comes together
Intermezzo: the librarian's worst nightmare restaurant
The one where a dead end becomes a break through
The one were a point makes itself
The one where a meeting is crashed
The one were profit is at a loss
The one with the old librarian
The one with creative copyright management
The one where we invent money to spend money
The one with a special price for a special customer
The one with a room with a view
The one where I blow off steam
The one where we define the reorganization rules
The one were we come to the rescue
The one where we offer remote assistance
The one where we use smoke and mirrors
The one where we help to select an application
The one where we become a status symbol
The one where we team up with the lawyer
The one where we thrive on organizational complexity
The one where we streamline the holiday library
The one where we tackle the customer satisfaction myth
The one where we stand up for our users
The one with the sanitized performance review
The one where we get no help whatsoever
The one where we are micromanaged
The one where we benefit from outsourcing
The one where we get a promotion
The one where we negotiate with the vendor
The one where we provide lessons learned
The one where we leverage the book club
The one where we survive the support staff managers meeting
The one where we stimulate a knowledge sharing culture
The one where "good enough" just doesn't do it for me
The one where we pick up a sport
The where we suffer from virtual meetings
The one where we give presentation advice
The one where we take a day off
The one where we benefit from bureaucracy
The one where we plan a budget meeting
The one where we take a look behind the scenes
The one where we take ethics, compliancy and diversity training
The one where we don’t attend the regional library conference
