<p>So I&rsquo;ve now completed several projects for work in my new position - I modified the library&rsquo;s calendar to use LDAP for authentication and changed things to fit the library&rsquo;s standards; I&rsquo;ve researched the possibility of migrating the site to a content management system as well as possibilities for specific systems; I researched and implemented GIS enabling the library; and now I&rsquo;ve completed in three days a full library catalog system for a portion of the library that&rsquo;s not kept in the base catalog, including LDAP authentication, searching, checking books out, etc.</p>
<p>Everyone seems pleased with my progress, but I&rsquo;m still dissatisfied.  For one, the only project to be implemented so far is the calendar.  The CMS project was apparently completely and totally unnecessary: not only were they already planning on migrating to a CMS, but they already had a CMS picked out, despite my research and recommendations.  The GIS stuff was appreciated by surprisingly few people at first, but has suddenly turned into a committee effort, involving meetings and bureaucracy heretofore unimagined; it will probably be wrested from my hands and outsourced or I&rsquo;ll be forced to change everything to some products that have more buzzwords attached.  The catalog was appreciated and will be deployed soon enough, thankfully, but I was forced to work with some undesirable technology which shall remain anonymous to protect myself from flaming.  All this, and I&rsquo;m still making less than entry-level tech-support wages at Hartshorn Health Center, where my friend wound up; and I&rsquo;m making far less than my coworker in tech support who isn&rsquo;t doing any development.  If I don&rsquo;t receive a raise by the end of the fiscal year, I think I&rsquo;ll install Sibelius on my Windows box here and spend my time composing instead of working - I&rsquo;ll work only as much as I get paid :o</p>
