Anyway, the always amazing Jacquie Henry has been doing a series of posts in which she is basically mentoring librarian noobs such as myself.  So she bravely took on the task of answering my question about librarian paperwork in a full on post of her own!
She gives this warning, however: 
Warning! Reading the above post might cause extreme drowsiness. Do not read if you plan to operate heavy equipment.
But seriously, it's great.  I love what she says about never forgetting how hard it is to be a classroom teacher.  Like the great George Clinton sings, "Teachers work harder than you do.  No matter what you do."
(Oh, and I got the cast off but man does it ever still hurt.  I start physical therapy this afternoon.  Fun, I'm sure.)
