I've had to rearrange my I Have Seen Things That Cannot Be Unseen tasks thanks Bring Your Children To Work Day.

Dagnabbit, I was about to run out to Trader Joe's, but it just started raining. Tomorrow....

I think, like Perkins, that if you're going into public services then the reference databases might be on point, and collection development type courses.

I'd add that I'd still take a look at the professors, and take classes with those that teach a good class. There are lots of opportunities in various ALA groups to round out your interests, learn from others and network when you figure out where you want to take this.

LoC: awesome CRS: er, maybe not

Yeah, it looks like the CRS is composed of people like my company's analysts, and the CRS uses the LoC for their library references.

I did see something for which I am totally unqualified for (no science or engineering background), but if I was, I would flip out over the possibility of working there. It was for the NASA archives in Maryland--space geek wonderland to work on those!!

I've been wanting to try some beet dishes, but I've been nervous about the mess of peeling and cutting them. Do you have any tips, or is it just not as bad as I've been imagining? (which is pretty much CSI Veggie Tales)

Since I always roast beets, I don't have to worry about peeling them. After 45 minutes wrapped in foil in the oven, the peel just wipes right off.

I made red flannel hash with some just the other night.

More on Hulu's $9.95/month charge. They also expect to up the commercials to the same amount as broadcast TV. I would hope they don't mean that for paying customers. I just don't see the attraction.

Virgin America would have to be pretty fucking amazing to outweigh a nonstop at a reasonable hour.

Honestly, they are that fucking amazing. I eternally regret making the same decision in favor of United for my business trip to Dulles.

I don't think they have free Wifi anymore (that was a holiday thing), but the plug at your seat and on-screen/delivered-to-your-seat-whenever ordering is reason enough for me to choose them.

For me, the non stop thing is pretty big, since I always do carry on luggage. I don't mind the early thing, because I'd rather get to my destination and have time to chill and recon meetings or whatever. It's hard to choose between Virgin and Jet Blue, because both are awesome. But Jet Blue has cashews! and Blue potato chips! and TV!

So it turns out I don't have any FB friends who like to post "funny" death wishes. This fills me with gratitude.

Also? Eating a peanut butter cookie pretty much undoes all the health benefits of eating a beet salad for lunch but boy is it YUM.

You know what I am confused about with Hulu is whether you will need a subscription to watch shows which are long off the air- Like, I have watched Party of Five and Alias Smith and Jones, and the original Battlestar Galactica.
