    Mell Classroom Building at RBD Library

    September 26, 2017 - By 

    Dynamics at work have changed a bit, because the addition that has been under construction since December 2015 is now finished and open. This $35 million addition adds 26 state of the art classrooms, 2 large lecture halls, study rooms, and open study spaces that span 69,000 square feet in 3 stories. This mecca is called Mell Classroom Building @ RBD Library. With the completion of the Mell Classroom Building at RBD Library, the transformation of the workplace dynamic is not only evident within the walls but extends to the very structure that houses these state-of-the-art facilities. Considering environmental sustainability,…

    RBD Library is Growing!

    December 11, 2015 - By 

    Now that the university is closed for Christmas break, construction on RBD to add the new Mell Commons Building will begin over the holidays. The staff of the library took a picture today infront of our building since it will never look like this again. Photo above by Jayson Hill – AUL libraries (Flickr) I also got some shots to remember what it looked like from different angles. See all the pics I took here. To see progress on the new building see this link: Mell Commons

    The Writing’s On the Wall

    April 22, 2014 - By 

    Last Wednesday, I got up as normal, grabbed my phone, and headed down stairs to have my Bible time and eat my cereal before getting the kids up in 30 minutes. I noticed I had a text, so I opened it up to see a text from AU ALERT:

    Good News!

    March 6, 2014 - By 

    So the other day, I eluded to the fact that I had some exciting news! Although, it shouldn’t effect my blogging at all, my family will totally benefit from it. My 2nd shift (3pm-12am) shifts are no more!! I am taking on a new role at work, which enables me to be a normal human being and work normal 8-5 hours! Can I get a Hallelujah?

    All of a sudden…

    May 3, 2013 - By 

    I was sitting at the staff computer up at the our front desk, not evening touching the keyboard, when all of sudden the keyboard and the keyboard tray crashes into my lap! The mouse, of course, went flying straight to the floor. I just sit there as my 2 student workers look over at giggling, happy it didn’t happen to them. I pulled the thing out since it and the screws were just staring at me. 1 inch screws don’t do much good especially when they’re facing up going against gravity. I was amazed this hadn’t happened sooner. This is…

    Busy Football Friday

    September 15, 2012 - By 

    Friday was a busy day. As much as I had hoped to get a lot of items marked off my to-do-list, it just didn’t happen. I spent about half a day at work. Fridays are not usually days that I work but it was our Open House. I was on the committee for that, so it was necessary for me to be there. I didn’t take a lot of pics, because I was busy working it. Here’s a collage with a couple shots. Friday evening I went to see Drew march at the football game. I went by myself because…

    Life Update

    November 23, 2009 - By 

    I’ve been so busy lately. I started a temporary job at the Auburn University Library. I’m there four days a week M-Th from 6 pm to 12 am. I also substitute as much as possible and still work at the day care teaching music M & W. All this means that if I sub on M & W I work from 7 am to 12 am!! WOW! If it sounds like I’m complaining, I’m not! I’m actually shocked at myself that I’m able to survive this, and very glad to have this opportunity to get some extra money, with school…
