Librarians Do Gaga
Someone comments on this video: "I'm lucky to be married to a librarian. This video is very nerdy in all the right ways." ha ha

Têtes à claques: la bibliothèque
Un homme se rend à la bibliothèque municipale pour y consulter des revues «pour adultes». L'hilarité s'ensuit.

A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette
This blog always makes me laugh. There are some real gems posted here, such as:
Questions, Stupid
You are professionally obligated to tell your library's patrons that "There's no such thing as a stupid question," even though they will always try and succeed at proving you wrong.
Enjoy!

Coop - summer tuition fees?
Does anyone know if we're to assume we're only getting charged full-tuition in the fall??
Up to now, I've still only seen the $405 coop fees. I inquired, but nobody has gotten back to me yet. I hope not to find any "owing surprises".

Concerning recent e-mail from coop office
Bonjour tout le monde!
J'espère que vos stages vont bien jusqu'à présent? Nous sommes presqu'à la fin de notre première semaine de travail! whoo hoo!
Je prends 2min pour clarifier le courriel que vous auriez tout recemment reçu de la part de Carole Lachaine du bureau coop, intitulé "Confirmation of Placement Intentions/ Confirmation en vue de vos intentions de placement". Vous vous demandez "Pourquoi que je reçois ça si je suis déjà au travail"? La réponse: nous devons indiquer nous intentions de placement pour l'AUTOMNE 2010! C'est-à-dire que si nous avions eu un stage de quatre mois au lieu de 8 mois, normalement nous serions en cours durant l'été et nous commencerions un stage quelconque à l'automne. Dans notre cas, nous complétons un stage unique de 8 mois, mais le bureau coop gère encore comme 2 stages, ici genre "back to back". Il faut donc faire ce qu'on demande dans le courriel en question, pour informer le bureau coop que nos intentions sont de RETOURNER AU MÊME EMPLOYEUR pour notre "prochain stage" même s'il s'agit du même stage dans votre tête.
C'était juste pour clarifier, comme ce n'était pas clair dans mon esprit non plus.
Bon coop les filles!
Céline.
