Oh flea, thanks for the link. Just skimming now, but yes, I can see where it's a whole different perspective.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Kat, I hope you have an easy-as-possible day.
So, if msbelle wants to take a few weeks off from her job and come to the DC Metro area, we may have just bought another house. My DH will be gone for 2 weeks in October, the person in my dept who handles most of the faculty requests will be going on Grand Jury duty for 4 weeks starting mid-October and another person will be teaching in Poland . . . Packing and moving should be fun! Oi. I never thought my DH's reaction to the house would be "let's go for it" rather than his usual "stop it" when I start looking.

Whoa! (I might be coming to DC Nov. 9-10, for a conference, and I am good at (and enjoy, albeit not to msbelle levels) packing/unpacking!)

Good like with the surgery Kat.
There's a term entry-level job at an academic library nearby. I really want to apply, but sitting down w. my resume last night was just depressing. All transferable skills and no direct experience. Also, the subjects covered are not my strong suit.

Sparky, congrats on the new house! Is it in roughly the same area?

We have some questions to pose to the inspection people about the house, like you do when the house is close to 100 years old, so we may have to repudiate the contract sometime in the next 7 days, but we're crossing our fingers as this would get us off our very busy street onto a very quiet one for the same mortgage payment.
Link goes poof soon: (poof!) If you want to know ping my profile addy!
I like my libraries new and my houses old.

Yes, same neighborhood, so no changes for daycare or school. Just tucked away on a one-block street.

The porch is divine. It's significantly larger than your current place? Wainscoting in the bathroom? And the kitchen looks great!
Congrats!

Sue, fi you'd like me to look over your resume/letter, and/or cheerlead, I'd be happy to. Academic libraries are great, and I am also writing a lot of letters saying "I've never done this, but I have the skills to!"
