EQS 2015

Today was the EQS (Enhancing Quality Staff) Symposium for the U’s library staff. They have all sorts of different talks and activities you can attend and I tend to sign up for fun activities vs. dull ones that relate to work. So this year I attended: ‘Novel Illusions: Folded Book Arts’ (2 hours long) and made a folded tree inside a book, ‘3-D printing and 3-D printers’ (2 hours long) and was able to use a 3D pen and the 3D printer and made a Gryffindor Badge, and ‘Yoga in the Office’ (1 hour long) which was the last talk of the day and with my bad back and foot, was probably not the thing to attend. They also provide lunch (salad, a weird pasta, and sandwiches-so not the most original food items, but they also have a snack break with ice cream) and prizes and this year I won a gift certificate to the Garden of Eden stores (they apparently sell lotions, oils, and things like that). A fun day despite having to get up too early.
