Musings....

The last post went up just after my birthday, didn't notice until today. Am still busy at work, moved jobs and am in a newly revamped building. Library at a college that is in the learning commons model. Part of the reno included air handling (alluded to in the last post) and it may be flowing but it's doing so at an alrming volume, in terms of SPL that is. I'll have to find out if there is an SPL meter somewhere in one of the departments and check what the levels are. Not as noticable on weekdays, lots of mobile sound reflectors / absorbers then, but Saturdays are loud. Really noticed it for the first time when I found the universal key for the building opened a door that facilitates a shortcut to the washroom. Walking through that room is soothing. It's not a small space, about 900 square feet or so, but it is so calm in there. I guess the novelty of the new job in a new space has really worn off, or that I'm not as busy and running around as much as I did at the start of the semester.
