The Bruce

This is the Bruce T. Halle Library, located on the main campus of Eastern Michigan University. This building houses one of the largest collections of children's literature in the U.S. It also uses an automated retrieval system (ARC), similar to the Sonoma State University ARC. This the building I call home. Well, not home-home, but business-home.

My office is in the basement. I don't spend much time there. I find sitting alone in a windowless room to be quite depressing. Instead, spend most of my time out on campus. It is great having a job that allows me to "travel", even if it is just across campus.

I like what my job has become. I spend most of my time helping different groups on campus teach/communicate change in regard to business process and technology. You would think this would be easy; however EMU history has proven that it is not their strength. But I digress...

My favorite feature of "The Bruce" is that it plays synthetic bells during the lunch hour. Kitschy tunes that you can't get out of your head once they are there. Tunes like Muskrat Love by the Captain & Tennille.

Crap, I am whistling already.....
