[bksvol-discuss] Re: pretty big admin queue

I'm afraid I missed the 167 book day.

It would have driven me insane, what do I read? this one? no... 

You get the picture. I'd be like a rat in a cheese filled maze.

  Oh, wow! Will it be another 167 book day? I think I recall hearing that some 
people had trouble with getting the list, but I still remember that day - 
although I don't remember the exact date. But I do recall that it felt a little 
like Christmas.

  I think she said something about not doing any more of those 100-plus book 
days, though, so maybe it will be a couple of 99 book days. <grin>

    Yes, we're trying to hire another Claire-type person (and another 
Carrie-type person), so the approval queue won't get so big.  Claire and I 
moved our office to the downstairs Benetech office (just rented) last Thursday 
and Friday, and Claire got behind in her approval queue handling.  I'm sure 
she'll deal with it Monday.

    On another topic, I do notice the admin queue has been a bit large of 
    late. I do hope that the new funding includes some provision for more 
    than one person to be in charge of moving books from admin to the 
    general collection.
