That was Easy



When we were in NYC visiting NinJa, I bought an 'Easy' button at Staples. We don't have Staple in SoFla. Poke the button.....That was Easy.....and soon you are convincing yourself it really WAS easy. Load the dishwasher....that was easy. Pack the lunch...that was easy.

Now I need MORE Easy buttons. I need one at school in the Media Center. I need to recode all the Easy Dewey’s and paperbacks because inventory is coming and if they have the wrong label it's going to mess up the whole thing. I need that button. I'm 1/3 the way through the ED with the reclassification, but then it's a perfect time to weed those awful books from the 70's and 80's. Even found several in the 60's. When you weed then you have to discard. Pull of the barcodes, stamp them, then sneak them into the trash bins so teachers won't paw through them and wonder why I'm throwing away those ' perfectly good books'.

I'm weeding them because the kids won't check them out. They're very unattractive and seems like they must have ordered 5-6 copies of each one too. I'm getting new books in and there is no room on the ED shelves to put them because the shelves are packed.

I need the Easy button.

I had my EASY button on my desk at work this week. "OH LOOK, Mr. K has an EASY BUTTON"!!! All day long... teachers, students, visitors all comment on the button and want to know what it does when it's pressed. I now have it mounted on the wall behind my desk with velcro


That was EASY
(PS - Toss those books)
