Praise for the obnoxious librarian from hades

Preface

The one where Kevin ruins my day

The one where no book gets left behind

The one where trouble is announced

The one where finance gets lost

The one full of cuckoo

The one where good advice turns bad

The one where a plan comes together

Intermezzo: the librarian's worst nightmare restaurant

The one where a dead end becomes a break through

The one were a point makes itself

The one where a meeting is crashed

The one were doom is spelled

The one were profit is at a loss

The one with a cunning plan

The one with a mess up

The one with the old librarian

The one with half a library

The one with creative copyright management

The one where we invent money to spend money

The one with a special price for a special customer

The one with a room with a view

The one where I blow off steam

The one where we define the reorganization rules

The one were we come to the rescue

The one where we offer remote assistance

The one where we use smoke and mirrors

The one where we help to select an application

The one where we become a status symbol

The one where we team up with the lawyer

The one where we thrive on organizational complexity

The one where we streamline the holiday library

The one where we tackle the customer satisfaction myth

The one where we stand up for our users

The one with the sanitized performance review

The one where we get no help whatsoever

The one where we are micromanaged

The one where we benefit from outsourcing

The one where we get a promotion

The one where we negotiate with the vendor

The one where we provide lessons learned

The one where we leverage the book club

The one where we survive the support staff managers meeting

The one where we stimulate a knowledge sharing culture

The one where "good enough" just doesn't do it for me

The one where we pick up a sport

The where we suffer from virtual meetings

The one where we give presentation advice

The one where we take a day off

The one where we benefit from bureaucracy

The one where we plan a budget meeting

The one where we take a look behind the scenes

The one where we take ethics, compliancy and diversity training

The one where we don’t attend the regional library conference
