I can tell when a new semester has begun at my institution. Suddenly there is double the amount of traffic, it takes me longer to drive to meetings on other campuses, and it is difficult to find a parking spot, particularly when I have afternoon meetings. I can no longer leave fifteen minutes before a meeting, find a parking spot, and be on time for my meeting. My commute to work also takes longer since there are more cars on the road due to faculty and students returning to school, plus there are school buses for the K-12 students from the surrounding areas. The beginning of each semester also leads to rush orders, reserve orders, and rush cataloging. While semesters change, the demand for technical services work remains steady. I am always surprised when people ask if I am employed for twelve months (they may think I get summers off because I have faculty status) or if my work slows down in the summer.
