Happy oh-my-god-surely-not-10th Birthday to Emaryn!
Next thing you know, she'll be dating and borrowing the car and, God-forbid, voting.

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

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.

Wow, Barb - it's an amazing porch.
When did you say I can move in, again?

“Not dead yet!”
Oh boy, Gud-- she's hit double digits? Oy.
Unbelievable, that they have the crust to grow and keep doing so.

Happy birthday, Scrappy!

10? No way!
Lovely porch, Barb!

That looks like a great porch Barb.
I know 10, it's so weird. She's getting so grown up and responsible too.
One of her gifts this year is a good sized gift certificate to Barnes & Noble. It sounds sort of impersonal, but she loves bookstore gift certificates and getting to go buy books with her own money. She is a total bookworm.
Now if only I could have gotten Eoin Colfer to write another Artemis Fowl book before her birthday. Oh well. Yikes, 10, the clock is probably ticking before she discovers the Twilight books.

Eh-- Abby's eleven and knows of them, but thinks the idea of them is ridiculous. In her words, "Sparkly vampires? That's the best she could come up with?"
