Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm always on the search for that perfect thirst quencher (and I now need it to be relatively sugar-free).

Jeff, do frozen grapes work for you?

Oh, I don't think I've mentioned this here yet, but I'm applying to library school for the fall, and I've also just applied for a part-time library director position in a nearby town. So, yay libraries!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gah. I have achieved filling. I'm trying to eat without chewing off my tongue, but I can barely even taste the food. Sadness.

Great Kate!

(I'm easily pleased by alliteration)

What library school(s) are you looking at?

Just Simmons at the moment, libkitty. They run a satellite program at Mount Holyoke, which would be great for me because I wouldn't have to move. If I don't get in there, I'll start looking around for other schools for the spring or next fall, but I'm fairly optimistic about my chances.

They do a decent job, thanks for reminding me. I'll have to get some and freeze 'em up.

Well, I think I'll turn in. Treatment tomorrow at 6:00 AM. Talk to you all later. It is really good to be back on the board.

We missed you, Jeff!

I think it is also my bedtime.

I've known a few folks who went to Simmons, including a PhD student at Syracuse who taught my searching class. Sounds exotic, doesn't it. It was actually all about dialog and Lexis, which were harder to search five years ago. Anyway, he was great and said nothing but good things about Simmons. They should provide a good all around. Sending application ~ma, not that you'll probably need it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for library school!

It was actually all about dialog and Lexis, which were harder to search five years ago.

I was just talking about that the other day -- someone who hadn't used it in a long time asked me if I "know how to use" Nexis. I was like, dude. There's nothing to know anymore!!
