Sometimes a blog with thoughts and opinions by Dan Greene
July was a quiet month in Library Monk blog land, but a busy one in real life. I’m officially out of MU’s SISLT Ph.D program and our house is for sale.
I’ve accepted a job at Hodges Library, IT Technologist III in Library Outreach.…
I’ve applied for a job in Knoxville. No, I’m not going to tell you what it is, you think I want everybody applying for it? :-) It does tie in my web design skills and library background nicely and I hope I get the job.…
Added March 5, 2026: The joys of selling on eBay. At least it netted some cash to help with leaving Missouri.
My second round of eBay auctions is up.
Star Wars Vintage VHS
Star Wars Trilogy Remastered in THX
Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition VHS Gold Box
Star Wars Trilogy (2004, DVD)
As you can see, I wasn’t content with just selling the LD player and Star Wars LDs.…
Well my laserdisc player and Star Wars LDs are now for sale on eBay.
It’s my first time selling on eBay so I probably didn’t do things in the most efficent/best way. Selling on eBay is easy to do but hard to do right.…
One of the few things I like about Missouri is St. Louis style pizza from Imo’s. It’s a thin crust pizza that may not be for everybody but Stephanie and I like it a lot. We were just discussing today that we’ll miss Imo’s when we leave Missouri.…
Added March 13, 2026: I removed the full phone number, it probably doesn’t belong to the same person now anyway. But it was a memorable event.
Last night around 8:30 or so, we get a call on our home phone. We don’t use it much, we only have a land line for emergencies and the occasional local phone call.…
Added March 11, 2026: I tell this story often. This was the beginning of the end of living in Missouri.
I don’t like a state where they have to use sirens to warn you about the weather. We had some nasty weather last night and the tornado sirens went off twice.…
Added March 11, 2026: I tell this story when people ignore health issues. Not that I’ve gotten any better with that myself.
Last Tuesday I started having really bad stomach pain at about 4 in the morning. By the end of the day I had a fever and I was vomiting.…
I’ve confirmed that Missouri is a Midwestern state and not Southern. One, nobody has a drawl around here (except me sometimes) and two, it’s cold. The temperature has been below freezing for a week and now there’s at least a couple inches of snow on the ground.…
Well we’re having a girl, Lisa Dawn Greene to be exact. The ultrasound also showed ten fingers and toes and everything else looks normal.…
