All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

OMG, people are losing their everloving minds about this visit.

I get it, but really?

I'm also dealing with an install solo today and so I should really not be engaging in tomfoolery on email while my boss is in here fretting about the state of the fridge and carpets (see: losing minds.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Scrappy!

Gud, 10? Umpossible!

I have to go to the grocery store. We're still a hunting/gathering species but I guess County Market is a whole lot better than digging for roots and hoping to bag a mammoth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do people know about Victorian Trading Co.?

TEN?? TCBITW!?!

Social media FAIL.

I can get Scrabble on Facebook to load, but not Facebook itself.

Next thing you know, she'll be dating and borrowing the car and, God-forbid, voting.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

When will people learn that the time to worry about carpets and fridges and office messes is NOT the day of the visit?

I am discovering multiple errors in work I did last week. ugh. at least it had not left my desk yet.

Happy birthday, Scrappy!!

Are you kidding me, Gud? Ten?!? Where does the time go...

Kathy, why kind of librarianship are you looking at? If I'm not mistaken, you work for a legal/business publisher, right?

Yes, I do, but I'd like to get back to general public library work. Before I started working here (17 years ago!), I was at a small-town library and loved it. I've also worked at the Oak Park (IL) library, and other than some of my co-workers, I loved it there as well.

I love the variety of questions you get at the public library. Here, it's all state legislative stuff which is interesting in its own way, but can get mind-numbingly boring at times. Legal research is getting old for me.

Cool librarian job employment story--I know someone who is a geneology librarian at the Newberry Library. He happened to be visiting a friend who worked there while he was finishing his MLS (at the same school I'm applying to), and mentioned his avocation of geneology to one of his friend's co-workers, and that eventually got him his job.
