Lighten Up, Francis

10 points if you get the reference in the title.

I happen to be at the top of the route list for Library Journal, so unlike most other routed publications, I get to read it before it's completely irrelevant. (Yeah, I know many of the routed titles are available online. I'm old. I like paper. Sue me.)

For those of you further down the route list, I wanted to point out an article from the August 2008 issue. It's not often that I find an article in any library publication that I think is timely, spot-on target and practical, but this one is. It also happens to be on a topic near and dear to my heart: humor in the workplace.

Read it here.

Really, I cannot believe staff don't enjoy the sting of leather and the crack of the whip. I agree with the article totally. I think separating fun from work is a mistake but it is one we are prepared to make again and again.
